Panasonic AJ-PX380G Shoulder Mount Camcorder Studio910 Package, Includes AG-CVF15 Color Viewfinder, XT17x4.5 BRM 17X Fujinon Lens and BT-LH910 Monitor

The shoulder-type AJ-PX380G Camera Recorder raises broadcast picture quality and compact, lightweight mobility while adding functions that enhance network-based workflows and enabling simple, excellent cost performance operation. Its 1/3-type 2.2-megapixel 3MOS sensors achieve high sensitivity, high S/N and a wide dynamic range. AVC-ULTRA (AVC-ULTRA is the name of Panasonic's professional video codec family. The AJ-PX380G does not support all of the formats included in the AVC-ULTRA family) codecs let you select the most suitable bit rate for your purpose, from high-quality 1080/60p (50p) 4:2:2 10 bit recording to low-rate streaming and FTP transmission, for broadcast-level image acquisition.

Network functions support wired LAN, wireless LAN and 4G/LTE connectivity. A built-in Camera Adaptor function allows simple base station connection with two BNC cables for SDI input. All of this allows the AJ-PX380G to provide simple and cost efficient solution to a wide range of applications, from news gathering to relay, live streaming and studio camera operation.

Network Functions to Expedite News Gathering and Image Acquisition Workflows
• Clips are automatically uploaded to an FTP server while recording (Rec during Uploading)
• Stable Full-HD images are on-air streamed by a special mode (QoS mode)
• Recorded clips can be previewed and metadata can be checked and edited on a smartphone, tablet or PC/Mac
• P2 ROP APP for iPad enables an advanced wireless camera remote function
• The P2 Cast cloud service is provided by Panasonic for broadcast and production use

Direct Linking for Simpler Studio Camera Workflows
• The built-in CA (Camera Adaptor) function eliminates the need for a Camera Adaptor and VF Interface Box. The return signal can be monitored without VF Interface Box
• Two BNC cables enable SDI (video/audio) input of REMOTE, INTERCOM, RETURN, GENLOCK and TALLY communication
• Maximum extension of 100 m (328 feet) (via 5C-FW BNC cable)
• Also supports conventional systems using the AG-CA300G Camera Adaptor. DC Power can be supplied from the transmission cable

Ultra Lightweight
In addition to its compact, lightweight mobility, the camera section offers 3MOS sensors and versatile features to meet broadcast demands for high picture quality and advanced functions.

Compact, Lightweight, 1/3 Shoulder-Type
The camera-recorder weighs approximately 2.7 kg (6.0 lbs.) and only about 4.75 kg (10.47 lbs.) with the lens and EVF (AJ-PX380GF included) mounted. This combines with the compact body size for excellent mobility in news gathering and other active uses.

1/3-Type Bayonet Mount Interchangeable Lenses
Broadcast and professional 1/3-type zoom lenses available from various manufacturers in a wide range of variations and performance can be used.

High Sensitivity, Low Noise, 1/3-Type 3MOS Sensors
2.2-megapixel 1/3-type 3MOS (RGB) image sensors offer full-pixel HD (1920 x 1080) resolution, F11 (59.94 Hz) or F12 (50 Hz) sensitivity and low noise. They also achieve rich gradation and vibrant color reproduction. The 1/3-type image sensors achieve the same maximum 600% level of dynamic range as other high-end shoulder-type models.

600% Dynamic Range
Rich data is captured all the way from highlights to shadows, to render truly realistic images. Features such as color grading also expand post-production flexibility.

FILM-REC Gamma
This function was made possible by the new 600% dynamic range. It achieves a cinematic latitude that exceeds the CINE-LIKE D mode in their previous 1/3-type camera recorder. Gamma curves can be selected from 7 modes (HD/SD/FILMLIKE 1/FILMLIKE 2/FILMLIKE 3/FILM-REC/VIDEO-REC).

DRS (Dynamic Range Stretch)
Suppresses blocked shadows and blown highlights to achieve a visually wide dynamic range.

Built-in Electronic Level Gauge
The electronic level lets you easily confirm camera tilting on the LCD monitor screen. It helps to keep the camera level during handheld shooting, low-angle shooting and high-angle shooting.

High-Quality Image Processing and Versatile Image Settings

CAC (Chromatic Aberration Compensation)
When using a CAC compatible lens, the small amount of circumjacent chromatic aberration (circumjacent blur) that is not corrected by the lens is compensated by this process.

Advanced Flash Band Compensation (FBC)
This function detects and precisely compensates the flash bands (bands of light and dark) that often occur in cameras equipped with a MOS sensor.

Setting Items
H detail, V detail, detail coring, skin tone detail, chroma level, chroma phase, color correction, master pedestal, knee (auto/manual/ off), matrix (norm1/norm2/fluo/cine-like), high color, white clip.

Advanced Focus Assist Functions
A variety of focus assist functions support quick and accurate focusing in manual focus mode.

Focus-in-Color
Emphasizes the image areas in focus by marking the edges in red, green or blue.

Expand
Enlarges the center portion for increased visibility.

Focus Bar
The meter graphically displays the focus level.
