Panasonic CX20 Professional Compact 4K Camcorder with XLR Inputs & IP Connectivity
Easily capture and stream your production with the next-generation CX20 Professional Compact 4K Camcorder with XLR Inputs & IP Connectivity from Panasonic. The CX20 is a professional auto-tracking camcorder with numerous features, including dual XLR inputs, wired and Wi-Fi IP streaming and control capability, dual SD card slots, a 24x optical zoom lens with up to 48x digital HD zoom, image stabilization, and high-resolution 4K video capture.

Features:
  • High-Sensitivity MOS Sensor and Venus Engine
    The 1/2.5" MOS sensor handles 4K data at 60/50 fps with high-speed readout, minimizing rolling shutter distortion when capturing moving subjects.
    The Venus Engine features a new image processing system capable of rapidly handling large 4K60 datasets for exceptional image quality. It also offers advanced image correction features to enhance creative video production. Internal recording supports resolutions up to 4K29.97 and 1080p59.94 in 4:2:2 10-bit.

  • Wide-Angle 25mm Lens with 24x Optical Zoom
    The 4-drive lens system supports 24x optical zoom, ranging from a wide-angle 25mm (35mm film equivalent) to a telephoto 600mm. i.ZOOM technology enables up to 32x zoom in 4K and 48x in 1080p, providing flexibility for shooting in confined spaces.

  • 4K High-Precision Autofocus
    Optimized for dynamic shooting conditions on location, the autofocus system prioritizes speed and tracking accuracy. The micro-drive focus unit ensures precise lens control for fast, smooth focusing. Sharp focus is reliably maintained even when subjects move from background to foreground.

  • Face Detection and Tracking AE/AF
    Advanced Face Detection AE/AF automatically identifies and tracks human faces. Also, specific colors can be selected on the 3.5" touchscreen LCD to enable Tracking AE/AF to follow people and other moving objects with increased accuracy.

  • 5-Axis Hybrid Stabilization and O.I.S.
    Five-axis Hybrid Stabilization corrects for camera shake in five axes: vertical, horizontal, and rotational. Using a gyro sensor that detects motion at 4000 times per second, the stabilization engine delivers fast corrections. Combining optical (O.I.S.) and electronic stabilization, it ensures stable video when zooming in at high magnification and when walking or shooting in low light.
    A ball-bearing optical image stabilization mechanism reduces friction when the lens system drive unit operates. The lens moves smoothly when zooming and delicately compensates for shake caused by small vibrations.

  • Built-In ND Filter
    The built-in ND filter (1/4, 1/16, 1/64, Clear) adjusts incoming light levels to suit the shooting environment. The filter can be used to prevent resolution loss caused by excessive aperture reduction (diffraction) and supports a wide aperture for sharp images with a shallow depth of field.

  • Efficient Heat Dissipation
    The image sensor typically heats up significantly as it collects external light through the lens, and its temperature rises further during high-speed 4K60 signal processing, so an advanced, efficient heat dissipation design is employed to maintain stable performance under such conditions.

  • Recording Features
    Using the highly efficient new HEVC codec, the camcorder supports high bit rate recording.
    Internal recording on SD cards supports 4:2:2 10-bit LongGOP UHD 4K29.97/25 (150 Mb/s) and 1080p59.94/50 (100 Mb/s). Enabling 10-bit recording activates 4K60 4:2:2 10-bit HDMI output, which is ideal for capturing high-quality video from external recorders.
    The camcorder uses compact SD cards with two available slots. For 4K recording, it enables relay and backup recording. For 1080p recording, slot 1 records specific scenes while slot 2 records continuously.
    Other recording features include pre-recording, interval recording, and embedded timestamps.

  • Proxy and Multi-Format Support
    The camcorder supports a variety of formats and bit rates, including MOV and MP4 for streamlined editing workflows, as well as 720p AVCHD 8 Mb/s (PM mode). Proxy recording is possible with the AVC-Proxy G6 codec.

  • Super Slow Motion and IR Modes
    Capture slow-motion video in 1080p mode at 120 fps or 100 fps. The system supports 10-bit recording and delivers full-frame images without cropping, even at high frame rates. Autofocus remains active during super slow-motion shooting.
    The IR cut filter can be toggled on/off and assigned to a user button. Disabling the filter allows shooting in low-light conditions using commercially available IR illuminators (recommended: 850nm IR illuminator).

  • Color and Effects Features
    16-axis color correction
    Enhanced skin tones
    Edge enhancement
    Flexible gamma
    Customizable scenes/presets: Standard, Fluorescent Lighting, Spark, Still-like, Cinema-like with contrast, and Cinema-like with dynamic range
