Hello there, my name is Anthony Burokas. I am here at NAB 2019 for Streaming Media Producer. I am here with Mitch in the Panasonic booth with the first NDI camcorder. The CX 350
Mitch: AG-CX 350. It's the first NDI-enabled camcorder. And it's not just NDI
It has an ethernet cord on it. So we also, we can be using it to go direct streaming using like RTMP. Go to Facebook Live or YouTube or however you might want to be able to stream content out of this camera.
And we've been partnering with NewTek to be able to build our system so we do have, we are the number one manufacturer for PTZ camera systems.
And then along with that we have our own switcher system. The HLC 100 and that's a very complete NDI system. And you can use an NDI and you can also have channels that are direct connect--
Anthony: Right, right. It's a hybrid system.
Mitch: With BNC connections SDI. So you can hybrid and be able to go back and forth between that so that you can build out to lots of different functionality.
Anthony: For like sports or something like that where you really can't. You know, it's got to like really follow the action fast.
Mitch: Exactly, I mean if there is a quarterback running down the field, a PTZ camera just might not be able to keep up. And be able to be nimble, do it the way you want. Or for the next play, once you pick the tripod and run over to another spot to be able to get a better angle for it.
So that's why we now have a very flexible lightweight camera. This camera only weighs about four pounds. And it's a very high-performance camcorder, just on its own.
Anthony: The news for Streaming Media is that it's NDI-capable, meaning it's an additional license that you get to enable it on the camera.
Mitch: Right.
Anthony: But if you're not into NDI or you don't need that aspect right now, it's nice to have this camera for, okay if I need that in the future. But out of the box it has a lot of production capability built into it, like it does HEVC as well.
Mitch: Yeah, this camera can record in three different types of codec. So we have an all eye inter frame codec. We have which is a 400 mega bits a second. Very rich format. And of course we can do 4K, we can do HD in this camera. 4K up to 60 frames a second. HD up to 120 frames a second.
You can also record in our longGOP structure and then we have the new H.265, the HEVC codec. And by having these three different systems, it's not that one is better than another, it's really for recording format.
Anthony: Right, and to me, good camcorders start in the $3000 realm, and this doesn't even seem to have a price premium for all the capability that's in it. I mean it's right in that mid-level hunt there you know we're not talking ENG, big on shoulder, 10 thousand dollar and up. This camcorder seems to have like, hey, you get a great camcorder, you get a nice long lens, you get all the different feature sets, and it's also got that NDI hook for people who also want to say hey, and now I want to jack it in to my thing for a live stream. And it's almost like there's no cost premium to it.
Mitch: Yeah, NDI is really important to us and the streaming is really important to us but we want this to be a great all around production machine. So we could've put a huge price tag on it. Some people would've bought it but we wanted this--
Anthony: Yes, so oh did you want the NDI camera, that's another $1000.
Mitch: Right, we don't want to slice it up that way. We did, you know, it is something where you get the license for the NDI because not everyone is going to use that sort of thing.
Anthony: Well I think you've done a fantastic job and I look forward to possibly even getting a review unit. Testing it out with my NDI system. I'm a TriCaster user so having NDI is something that I've longed wished a camcorder had and now they do. So thank you very much.
Mitch: Thank you, I think you'll find that having a 20X lens on here that gets wider than anybody else's. And then you zoom in and you can use the digital zoom part to get more tighter than everybody else. You're going to find it's a very versatile machine.
Anthony: Thank you. My name is Anthony Burokas here with Mitch at the Panasonic booth at NAB 2019 here for Streaming Media Producer. Thanks for watching.
