Vizrt PPTZUCC NDI | HX Upgrade for Panasonic Cameras - SW-000000001

Product Overview

The Vizrt PPTZUCC NDI|HX Upgrade for Panasonic Cameras is a software license that activates NDI|HX output on compatible Panasonic PTZ and handheld cameras. Designed for broadcast engineers and AV integrators building IP-based video workflows, this upgrade converts your existing Panasonic camera into a native NDI|HX source — no external encoder or converter required. Once activated, the camera streams directly over standard gigabit Ethernet to any NDI-compatible receiver, switcher, or software.

Product Description

NDI|HX is the bandwidth-efficient variant of NewTek's NDI protocol, delivering broadcast-quality H.264 or H.265 compressed video over standard IP networks at significantly lower bitrates than full NDI. This license upgrade is installed directly on the camera via firmware activation, enabling NDI|HX output alongside the camera's existing signal formats. Compatible Panasonic models include PTZ cameras such as the AW-UE series and handheld camcorder lines supported under Panasonic's NDI licensing program. The resulting NDI|HX stream is discoverable across the local network by TriCaster systems, NDI-enabled production software, and any NDI Tools-compatible application. This purchase delivers a single-camera license key via electronic download — no hardware shipment required.

Key Features

• Native NDI|HX Output — Enables direct IP video streaming from Panasonic cameras without an external encoder.
• Low-Bandwidth Delivery — H.264/H.265 compression keeps NDI|HX traffic manageable on standard gigabit LAN infrastructure.
• Zero-Hardware Installation — Activated via firmware; no additional hardware purchase necessary.
• Broad Receiver Compatibility — Works with TriCaster systems, vMix, OBS NDI plugin, and any NDI-aware production platform.
• Electronic License Delivery — License key delivered digitally for immediate deployment.
