Panaosnic CX370 NDI Camcorder

New CX Series Handheld Camcorder Built for Next-generation Performance, Coupled with Exceptional Image Quality and Operability — Furthermore optimized for Production, Broadcasting and Live Streaming with 4-channel Audio and GENLOCK Inputs and 12G-SDI Output.

The AG-CX370 is a high-end handheld camcorder designed to meet the demands of modern video production. Building on the acclaimed high performance and usability of its predecessor, the AG-CX350, it features 10-bit 4K recording, a wide-angle high-magnification zoom lens, and HDR-compatible V-Log/HLG as well as manual three-ring control for precise operation.
Expanded functionality in the AG-CX370 includes a new 4-channel audio input terminal with independent volume control for simultaneous recording from up to four microphones. It also incorporates a GENLOCK input terminal for broadcast-quality multi-camera synchronized recording. In addition, the SDI output has been upgraded to 12G-SDI for uncompressed 4K video output, and the IP output now supports NDI® HX2,* enhancing its operability for live camera applications.
Despite its lightweight and compact design, the AG-CX370 provides professionals with a powerful solution for production, broadcasting, and streaming.

* NDI® is a video connectivity technology and is registered as a trademark by Vizrt NDI AB in the United States and other countries.
* Recording, streaming and 4K output are not available when using NDI HX2 mode.

Expanded system capabilities with 12G-SDI output and GENLOCK input
The SDI output terminal now supports 12G for high-quality, uncompressed 4K video streaming to the latest video equipment. Additionally, the newly integrated GENLOCK input terminal enables broadcast-grade synchronization in multi-camera systems.

Versatile 4-channel audio input with independent volume controls
Alongside two XLR inputs, a 3.5mm stereo mini-jack input supports up to four external microphones for 4-channel audio recording. Each channel is equipped with a dedicated volume control for precise manual adjustment.

Optimized IP live production with NDI® HX2
Built-in NDI® HX2 compatibility is provided for IP-based transmissions and camera control when connected to NDI®-compatible devices such as switchers and decoders. NDI® HX2 efficiency ensures seamless live production for event broadcasting, online streaming and more.

Effortless vertical video recording
A vertical video flag enables ingest/play/edit as a vertical video by using video editing software.
