Panasonic Collaborates With
LiveU
P

anasonic has introduced
its exclusive AG-SFU603G
software upgrade key for its P2
cam AG-HPX600 to expand its
functionality.
The solution combines LiveU’s
live video uplink technology
with the latest Panasonic
broadcast equipment to deliver
the ﬁrst available integrated live
camera solution.
The AG-SFU603G software
upgrade key integrates LiveU’s
LU40 2 portable lightweight uplink
solutions with the “P2HD” series of
Panasonic’s new AG-HPX600 HD
camera recorder. The expanded
functionality can be activated via
the software key after installation of
the software upgrade; the upgrade
is being released simultaneously on
the AG-HPX600 camera.
LiveU’s LU40 unit and the AG-

Panasonic and LiveU’s
integrated camera

HPX600 are interconnected via the
SDI and USB. Live camera video
(HD/SD signals) can be transmitted
through up to six connections via
the LU40. This upgrade will allow
the uplink ‘start-and-stop’ to be
controlled from the AG-HPX600 and
the LU40 status to be displayed
on the AG-HPX600 viewfinder,
enabling camera operators to relay
live video securely.
An optional upgrade system has
been introduced in the AG-HPX600

P2 camera recorder so that only
necessary functions, such as an
Internet connection (AG-SFU601G)
and VFR recording (AG-SFU602G),
are installed. Following this latest
AG-SFU603G upgrade, other
innovative technologies, such as
microP2 card, AVC-ULTRA codec
will also be supported.
The AG-SFU603G software
upgrade key will be available
from this month.
