Panasonic AJ-PX5100GJ  P2HD FEATURES
High Picture Quality

• High Sensitivity, Low Noise 2/3 type 3MOS Image Sensors
• HDR Compliant (HLG “Hybrid Log-Gamma”)
• FHD Image Acquisition by High-Quality AVC-ULTRA Codecs
• HD/SD Multi-Image Format
• Reliable Recording Media: P2 Card/microP2 Card

FHD/60p/50p Support with High-Sensitivity, Low-Noise HDR Compatibility

High Sensitivity, Low Noise 2/3 type 3MOS Image Sensors – The 2.2 megapixel 2/3 type 3MOS (RGB) image sensors offer full-pixel HD (1920 x 1080) resolution, F12 (59.94 Hz) or F13 (50 Hz) sensitivity, and low noise with an S/N of 62 dB (with DNR ON). It also achieves rich gradation and vibrant color reproduction.
HDR Compliant (HLG “Hybrid Log-Gamma”) – In addition to being equipped with HLG images, the following functions assist HLG image acquisition.

• SDR Monitoring Gamma: Gamma curves for monitoring HLG images with the SDR viewfinder or other SDR monitor. These gamma curves possess characteristics for expressing the gradation in high-brightness area while maintaining the contrast of ordinary-brightness area.
• HDR/SDR Simultaneous Output: Dual SDI can output both HDR (HLG) and SDR (monitoring gamma) simultaneously.
• One-Push HLG Selector for Viewfinder: While the viewfinder display with monitoring gamma ordinary, the gradation of high-brightness area can be checked by selecting HLG temporarily.
• High-Brightness Zebra Display: The zebra pattern can be displayed in white-out areas of the viewfinder image.

FHD Image Acquisition by High-Quality AVC-ULTRA Codecs
The AVC-ULTRA codecs feature high-quality, high-efficiency H.264 based video compression. The main recording can be selected from high-quality AVC-Intra200 for mastering applications, AVC-Intra100 with FHD/60p/50p support, AVC-Intra50, or AVC-LongG (50/25/12) for FHD10-bit 4:2:2 with affordable bit rate. While offering a low bit rate suitable for previewing, sub recording AVC-Proxy (proxy data) provides an FHD resolution mode that can be used as is for breaking news and similar applications. The conventional DVCPRO codec is also supported.
HD/SD Multi-Image Format
Panasonic AJ-PX5100GJ P2HD images can be acquired by the 1080/60p/50p/60i/50i/30p/24p/25p, 720/60p/50p/30p/24p/25p HD format and SD (480/60i, 576/50i) format. Overseas use is also supported by 59.94Hz/50Hz selection.
Reliable Recording Media: P2 Card/microP2 Card
The P2 card, which was designed for broadcast use, features a rugged case and highly reliable connector. The microP2 card features high reliability and a large capacity together with a reduced size and cost. In an emergency, an SD memory card can also be used.
Advanced Network Functions

• Easy-to-Use Single Dongle, Flexible Network Connection
• RTMP/RTSP Compatible Full-HD Streaming
• P2 Cast

Easy-to-Use Single Dongle, Flexible Network Connection – Proxy preview, camera remote, and playlist editing can all be done on a PC, Mac, or tablet connected to wireless LAN. When connected to the internet, files can be transferred and live streaming can be done. Nimble operation is possible using the Wireless Module (optional: AJ-WM50/AJ-WM30) or single dongle of the 4G/LTE dongle. Wired LAN connection and LiveU/TVU bonding services are also supported. The connection method is selected to match the usage environment.
RTMP/RTSP Compatible Full-HD Streaming – Full-HD streaming is possible while images are being acquired. Both RTSP and RTMP streaming methods are compatible. And Facebook, YouTube, and other streaming services are supported. A unique QoS (Quality of Service) mode optimizes the bit rate according to the network conditions for stable streaming distribution. High performance is also achieved by linking to P2SS (streaming server).
P2 Cast – An IoT Solution for News Gathering That Directly Connects On-Site News Acquisition with the Newsroom.
By connecting the Panasonic AJ-PX5100GJ P2HD or other P2cam to the cloud-based P2 Cast integrated control system, a connectivity that approaches live relay can be achieved with automatic operation and camera control for interviews and other ENG. The system also helps to reduce costs.

• Automatic Upload from a P2cam to a Cloud Server
• Near-Live Upload
• News Content Web Sharing, Integrated Camera Control
• P2 Cast Bridge: Connects directly to the newsroom — Nonlinear Editor, News Automation, and Media Asset Management Systems.
• P2 Cast Mobile App: Connects smartphone cameras to P2 Cast/P2SS.
• P2SS (P2 Streaming Server) Delivers Full-HD Streaming

High-Quality Camera Functions for Various Situations

• Two Optical Filters: ND and CC, have four positions each. The 3200K, 4300K, 5600K and 6300K positions of the CC filter help to express deeper colors.
• CAC (Chromatic Aberration Compensation): When using a CAC compatible lens, the small amount of circumjacent chromatic aberration that is not corrected by the lens is compensated by this process.
• DRS (Dynamic Range Stretcher): Suppresses blocked shadows and blown highlights to achieve a visually wide dynamic range.
• Advanced Flash Band Compensation (FBC): High-precision flash band detection and compensation.
• Gamma: Select from 8 modes (HD/SD/FILMLIKE 1/FILMLIKE 2/FILMLIKE 3/FILM-REC/VIDEO-REC/HLG1) gamma curves.
• High-Sensitivity DS Gain: High sensitivity is achieved without increasing noise.2 Combined with gain, this enables a maximum +76 dB,3 for ultrahigh sensitive recording at minimum subject illumination of 0.004 lx.
