Optimized For 4K/HD Production With Live Broadcasting Capabilities
The CX350 is a handheld camcorder that is optimized for 4K/HD production with live broadcasting capabilities. With its integrated lens design, the CX350 brings impressive new features including 4K 10-bit 60p capture, HDR recording, and is equipped with the RTMPS / RTMP / RTSP / RTP protocol for live streaming and NDI|HX-ready IP connection. At only 4.2-lbs. (body only), the CX350 is also the lightest 4K 10-bit fixed-lens camcorder in its class.
Exceptional Sensor Performance
The 1.0-type MOS sensor (approx. 15.03-megapixels in UHD/FHD) provides exceptional depth-of-field and offers a great balance between image quality and sensitivity (F12/F13 in High Sensitivity Mode). The CX350 can capture in UHD (3840x2160), Full HD (1920x1080), HD (1280x720), and SD (720x480). Like the EVA1, the CX350 offers 10-bit 4:2:2 color sampling with ALL-Intra (400-Mbps) and LongGOP (150Mbps) and can be recorded in UHD up to 29.98p/25p and FHD up to 59.97p/50p. It also supports the 10-bit HEVC codec at UHD up to 59.97p/50p with a low bit rate of 200Mbps. The HEVC 10-bit codec can be natively decoded and played by computers with 7th Generation (or later) Intel Core i7 chips. All of these formats and compression rates can be recorded internally to lower cost SD cards.
Streaming Capabilities in 4K and SRT Protocol Support
4K streaming is supported with a variety of frequencies and HD streaming is possible while recording. Both Client/Listener mode and encryption are also supported. H.264/H.265 codec and a variety of bitrates can be selected. The CX350 also supports USB tethering using your smartphone.
SRT Protocol enables high-quality streaming. SRT is used for direct live video transport between locations over the public internet.
Controllers for Simplified Live Camera Operation
Panasonic’s controllers can be used together in a variety of different product categories, including our PRO PTZ Cameras, Studio Cameras, Camcorders and Cinema Cameras.
The AG-CX350 camera is compatible with the AK-HRP1000, AK-HRP1005, AK-HRP250, and even AW-RP150 controllers.
Capture Wide Angles & Wide Dynamic Range
The CX350’s integrated lens contains a wide angle of 24.5mm at the wide-angle setting with minimal-distortion. The 20x optical zoom lens covers the range from 24.5mm to 490mm (35mm film equivalent at 4K/HD). It also has the 35x(HD) / 24x(4K) Intelligent Zoom function. In both 4K and HD shooting modes, the CX350 uses 5-axis hand-shake correction that combines the effects of both optical and electronic image stabilization, providing a steadier image in unstable shooting conditions.
In addition to capturing conventional gamma modes (HD, SD, FILMLIKE 1/2/3 FILM-REC, VIDEO-REC), the CX350 now supports HLG (Hybrid Log Gamma) to capture a wider dynamic range. The HLG standard was developed jointly by the BBC (British Broadcasting Company) and NHK (Japan Broadcasting Corporation) and is currently supported by both TV stations and streaming services. When shooting HLG, the CX350 can be set to HDR or SDR Color Setting on each output – LCD/EVF, SDI and HDMI.
Additional Features
For sports shooters, Variable Frame Rate (VFR) recording can be set in the range of 1-fps to 60-fps (59.94Hz). In FHD mode, Super Slow motion can be achieved at 120-fps/100-fps (59.94Hz, 50Hz). The CX350 can also capture 720p AVCHD 8-Mbps, for a video analysis and compatibility with DV Sports and XoS Digital.
Additional key features of the CX350 include support for AVCHD, P2HD, simultaneous SDI and HDMI output (UHD video via HDMI and output of HD video via 10-bit, 4:2:2 SDI), two audio channels from the built-in stereo mic, or two XLR audio inputs, and low power consumption at 17 W. Two toggle switches for GAIN and WHITE BALANCE are available, as well as two Accessory Shoes for additional versatility.
CX350 Remote Control Mobile App
CX ROP is a control program that enables the wireless remote control of the Panasonic AG-CX350 series camcorder. It provides a GUI that displays status information, settings, and provides user switch status in a single screen and the ability to change camera settings intuitively using a touch screen.
