Panasonic AJ-PX5000G 2/3", 2.2M 3-MOS P2 HD shoulder-mount camcorder is the first with native AVC-ULTRA recording and built-in microP2 card slots. The
Panasonic PX5000 features 720p* and 1080p/i recording, and is also the first P2 HD camera that will record in full-resolution, 10-bit 1080/60p (in AVC-Intra100).
Panasonic's AVC-ULTRA offers master-quality and/or low-bit-rate
10-bit, 4:2:2 recording in Full HD to meet a variety of user needs from mastering to transmission. Addressing the need for high-speed file exchange, its high-resolution AVC-Proxy encodes in parallel
with higher bandwidth production formats, enabling fast, efficient offline editing, at bit-rates from 3.5 megabits down to 800 kilobits per second.
The AVC-Proxy files and Network function (wired/wireless LAN)* make
it possible to configure a workflow for previewing images, editing metadata, editing playlists, sharing networks, and uploading motion images quickly and at low cost with a PC/Mac, tablet, or
smartphone.*
The Panasonic AJ-PX5000G incorporates a selection of AVC-LongG quality levels, including AVC-LongG50 and AVC-LongG25. Designed for applications where file size is critical, these 10-bit, 4:2:2 sampled codecs
record in a much smaller file size, saving storage cost and transfer times over MPEG-2 while maintaining equal or better video quality. In the future, lower bitrate AVC-LongG12 will be made
available.
The Panasonic AJ-PX5000G offers optional AVC-Intra200* recording, which at twice the bit rate per frame of AVC-Intra100 is visually lossless, delivering a master quality codec in an affordable, file-based
camera. The AVC-Intra200 option will yield a cost-effective approach to network-level program acquisition, film-outs and higher levels of color correction In addition to AVC-LongG and
AVC-Intra100/50, the AJ-PX5000 offers standard recording in DVCPRO HD, DVCPRO50, DVCPRO and DV.
The camera has two microP2 slots and two standard P2 card slots,** as well as an SD card slot for proxy/metadata recording. MicroP2
cards offer a faster transfer speed, smaller size (SD card size) and are lower cost compared to a P2 card.
Professional interfaces include MON out (can be set to output
HD-SDI), HDMI out, HD/SD-SDI in/out, 3G-SDI out, genlock in for multi-camera operation, timecode in/out, USB 3.0 (host) and a two-channel UniSlot compatible wireless receiver. |
• HD/SD Multi Format/Multi Codec -- In addition to 1080/60i, the AJ-PX5000G supports 24p, 30p,60p, and 720p multi HD format and SD recording. Also, 50i, 50p, and 25p
are supported by 59.94 Hz/50 Hz switching.
• Achieves high F12 (59.94 Hz)/F13 (50 Hz) sensitivity, excellent images with an S/N ratio of 62 dB; shoulder-type design
accommodates a variety of interchangeable B4 mount 2/3" lenses;
• Equipped with Chromatic Aberration Compensation (CAC) to maximize lens performance;
• Dynamic Range Stretch (DRS) optimizes scene image contrast
at the pixel level, reducing overexposure and crushed shadow content and dramatically improves human skin rendition.
• Highly accurate flash band detection and compensation
algorithm that minimizes partial image exposure due to strobe lighting.
• 7-mode (HD/SD/FILMLIKE 1/FILMLIKE 2/FILMLIKE 3/FILM-REC/VIDEO-REC) gamma selection and extensive digital image
settings.
• A 16:9, 3.5-inch, 920,000-dot resolution LCD color viewfinder, which doubles as a LCD monitor when open;
• Audio capabilities include two XLR audio inputs, and
records up to four channels of 48kHz, 24-bit audio in AVC-Intra formats (16-bit in AVC-LongG, DVCPRO HD, DVCPRO and DV);
• Scan Reverse for use with a cinema lens adaptor;
• Presettable Shutter Speed from 1/12 to 1/2000 sec plus variable Synchro Scan;
• 4-position (CLEAR, 1/4 ND, 1/16 ND, 1/64 ND) optical
neutral density filter wheel;
• 50 Hz and 59.94 Hz switchable for worldwide use.
• A simplified waveform and vectorscope;
• A 10-pin remote terminal enabling remote camera operation; and an optional camera studio system.
• Two optical filters, ND and CC, with four positions each.
The CC filters are 3200K, 4300K, 5600K and 6300K;.NDs are Clear, 2, 4, and 6 stops.
• Uplink device support. The status, settings, and bandwidth
condition for the LiveU LU40 Series can be displayed on the camera viewfinder, and uplink start/stop can be operated. This allows the
camera operator to handle live relays comfortably and securely.
* Options available in March 2014 **The PX5000G does not support spanned recording between the microP2 and standard P2 cards slots. |
First Standard-Equipped AVC-ULTRA Codec From mastering to streaming,
the image quality and bit rate can be selected to match the application. Panasonic's professional A/V codec family, AVC-ULTRA, is provided as standard equipment for the first time ever, to meet
the particular needs of broadcasting and image production.
|
An intra-frame compression method that is highly suited to image production. In addition to the conventional AVC-Intra100/50, an optional AVC-Intra200 codec will
be available.*1 With superb images that approach uncompressed quality and 24 bit audio, it offers a level of quality that meets the needs of mastering and archiving. |
|
|
|
An inter-frame compression method that achieves high-quality HD recording at a low bit rate. Ideal for providing on-air content direct from the shooting location and for
workflows using content transferred over the internet. Four bit rates are available: AVC-LongG50/25/12*1/6*1*2 Mbps. AVC-LongG50/25 provide 10 bit/4:2:2 quality at a bit rate of approximately 25 Mbps. |
|
|
|
Low-bit-rate, high-resolution, high-sound-quality proxy video (Quick Time/H.264) is also recorded with the actual data.*3 Also includes metadata for efficient
offline editing. See the table below (AVC-Proxy Recording Modes and Recording Signals). |
|
|
*1: Available in the near future. *2: Recordable when dual codec recording is selected. *3: Proxy data cannot be recorded when using the Loop Rec or
Interval Rec function. Proxy data is low-resolution video and audio data with time code, metadata, and other management data in a file format. The use of DCF Technologies is under license from Multi-Format, Inc
Standard-Equipped microP2 Card Slots The Panasonic AJ-PX5000G is the first camera recorder to come with two slots for the microP2 card, the new broadcast-use
memory card downsized to match the size of a conventional SD memory card. • microP2 card: While inheriting the high reliability of the P2 card and maintaining the large capacity of 64 GB,*1 the microP2
card was greatly downsized to match the size of an SD memory card, thus resulting in a considerable reduction in cost. • Content Protection System (CPS): A new security function
featured on the microP2 card. The content recorded on the card is locked with a password to protect against unauthorized access. This prevents data from being stolen and enables secure media
control. • P2 Card Slots: Two conventional P2 card slots can be used.*2 • Highly Mobile and Reliable: The microP2 and P2 cards are highly resistant to temperature changes, dust, impacts, and
vibration, and there are no worries about condensation, head clogging, or dropout as there are with VTR systems. Data is recorded onto empty card spaces, so there is no need to search for
the beginning and ending of recorded portions. There is also no danger of mistakenly recording over existing data.
*1: Total card capacity includes space for data management, such as
system data; therefore, the actual usable area is less than the capacity indicated on the card. See the "Recording Times" table for recording times. [PDF] *2: microP2 and P2 cards cannot be simultaneously recorded. |
