wireless adapter (CBK-WA100) that can automatically create XAVC proxies, allowing users to transmit files (both proxies and original high-res content) via 3G, 4G, LTE, or WiFi to the cloud or direct to the broadcaster. Because it has WiFi, the camera can also connect to mobile devices. These can interact with the
camera or control it using Sony’s Content Browser Mobile app. This allows users to log
Time for metadata Panasonic’s new cloud ENG system is aimed at making it simpler to preview images, add metadata and eventually stream live news. “Our vision is that all of our products are cloud capable and can support IP,” said Stephen Yeo, marketing director, PSCE. To increase its expertise in
this area, in July Panasonic bought CameraManager, a Dutch company specialising in
Panasonic wants to offer this to its most important markets, particularly news production, where it has a very strong presence in European broadcasters (of the more than 300,000 P2HD units Panasonic has now sold, more than 70,000 of those are in Europe). “We are developing the
backend and workflow to get the content back to base quickly and cost effectively,” explained Rob Tarrant, European product

Breaking news can even use the proxy for immediate use. Panasonic already works with
various uplink manufacturers, such as LiveU, to integrate these
wireless systems into the viewfinder, but its two new camcorders can also use a single SIM card to connect to the cloud. Both the €23,000 shoulder-mount AJ-PX5000 (available now) and handheld AJ-PX270 (available Spring 2014) have this functionality, “so you can pick the camera that best suits the application,” he said. They are also the first
cameras with the AVC-Ultra codec built in rather than an optional upgrade. The EBU has recommended LonG 25 as full broadcast quality. “It’s the same quality as AVC-Intra 100.” Two existing Panasonic
camcorders already include advanced network functions: the AJ-HPX3100 and AG-HPX600. They can use a WiFi connection to connect with a laptop or tablet. This enables various wireless camera functions such as streaming, remote camera control and proxy list editing.
