Panasonic AG-CX370 1-Inch 20x 4K60p Camcorder with NDI HX2

4K/60p 10-bit Handheld Camcorder with built-in NDI
The AG-CX370 handheld camcorder is built for next-generation performance, coupled with exceptional image quality and operability. It is optimized for production, broadcasting and live streaming with 4-channel audio and GENLOCK inputs and 12G-SDI output.

Key Features

• Expanded system capabilities with 12G-SDI output and GENLOCK input
• Versatile 4-channel audio input with independent volume controls
• Optimized IP live production with NDI® HX2
• High Shooting Quality
• Multi-Format, Multi-Codec Recording

High-quality 4K live video production
The CX370 delivers 4K/60p/10-bit MOV recording with a high-efficiency HEVC/H.265 codec. It also features a high-definition, high-sensitivity 1.0-type 15M MOS sensor, and Hybrid Log Gamma (HLG) for HDR recording – making it perfect for live broadcast environments and creating content for social media platforms. The CX370 features broadcast-quality image tuning, with 16-axis independent color correction.

Advanced IP-based live production capabilities
The high-end CX370 features built-in NDI®* HX2 IP connectivity for IP-based transmissions and camera control. When connected to NDI®-compatible devices, such as switchers and decoders, NDI® HX2 delivers smooth, high-quality IP-based live video production1. The CX370 supports 4K direct streaming via the RTMP, RTMPS, and RTSP protocols – and the next-generation, IP-based SRT protocols. When compared to predecessor CX Series camcorders, the CX370 now supports the 12G-SDI output, enabling high-quality, low-latency uncompressed 4K video to be streamed to professional broadcast equipment. The CX370 also supports simultaneous 4K output via SDI-HDMI outputs.
*NDI® is a video connectivity technology and is registered as a trademark by Vizrt NDI AB in the United States and other countries.
1 Recording, streaming and 4K output are not available in NDI HX2 mode.

Wide angle zoom lens for broadcast-quality shooting
The CX370 offers superior optical performance thanks to its powerful 24.5mm (35mm equivalent) wide-angle zoom lens, with 20x optical zoom. It features high-precision auto-focus technology with face detection, auto-tracking, and five-axis hybrid image stabilization. This detects and corrects any unwanted camera shaking, making the CX370 perfect for the stable shooting and tracking of moving subjects.

Enhanced mobility and interoperability
The CX370’s ease-of-use for production, broadcast and live streaming professionals sets it apart. Unlike the CX350 model, the camera features two balanced XLR inputs and a 3.5mm stereo mini-jack input. This enables support for up to four external microphones or line-level audio for 4-channel 24-bit LPCM audio recording. In addition to the CX370’s compatibility with the AVC-ULTRA (P2 MXF) format2, the camera supports the File Transfer Protocol3, enabling recorded clips to be shared with broadcasters via a wired network, Wi-Fi (AJ-WM50E optional) or USB tethering through a mobile phone. This streamlines production workflows and drastically reduces the time required to air content. The newly integrated GENLOCK input terminal delivers broadcast-quality synchronization in multi-camera environments, whilst visuals can be simultaneously displayed across multiple high-definition LCD displays and viewfinders. Focus and zoom settings can also be easily adjusted through wired remote control, or through IP-based networks over a LAN connection.
2Not all AVC-ULTRA formats are supported, and standard P2 cards are not compatible.
3Available through future support via planned firmware update.
