"Everywhere" News Gathering
The AJ-PX5100 is a B4 shoulder mounted P2HD camera-recorder which upgrades on the successful PX5000 series. With its breadth of recording options and exceptional image quality, the PX5100 is targeted at network news, documentary, high-end corporate and sports production, as well as the rental market.
Uncompromising Image Quality
Maintaining the same Full HD 2/3 type 3 MOS sensor in a lightweight 7.5 lb body, the new camera also offers HDR(HLG) content and 1080/60p recording for the first time in a Panasonic ENG camera.
The Ultimate Connected Camera
In addition, Panasonic has improved the connectivity of the new camera with RTMP low-latency communication as a standard. It means the camera can deliver smooth streams and transmit information between the camera and newsroom more quickly than before, speeding up news workflows. The AJ-PX5100 also features wireless and wired connectivity with Wi-Fi, USB, and Gigabit Ethernet, as well as bonding with both the LiveU and TVU networks. The AJ-PX5100 also supports P2 Cast, Panasonic`s cloud-based news editing system.
Ergonomically Designed
The camera features a brand-new Quad HD LCD monitor for improved outdoor visibility and four times the number of pixels of standard definition monitors. Paired with an ergonomically designed shoulder-mount and engineered for proper weight balance, the AJ-PX5100 has been field-tested to ensure comfortable sustained use for long on-site reports or reality TV show/documentary style shooting.
