Panasonic AJ-CX4000 4K HDR ENG Shoulder-Mount Camcorder
Product Overview
The Panasonic AJ-CX4000 is a 4K HDR ENG shoulder-mount camcorder for professional news, sports, documentary, and live event acquisition. It combines a large 11.14-megapixel MOS sensor with an interchangeable 2/3-inch B4 lens mount and direct livestreaming, making it a field-ready broadcast camcorder for ENG crews and live production teams. With 12G-SDI 4K/UHD 60p output and integrated networking, the AJ-CX4000 fits both traditional broadcast workflows and IP-based remote production.
Product Description
The AJ-CX4000 achieves 2,000 horizontal TV lines through oversampling from its 11.14-megapixel sensor, delivering low-noise 4K with wide dynamic range and dual native ISO for strong low-light performance (high sensitivity of F10 at 59.94 Hz / F11 at 50 Hz). HLG (Hybrid Log-Gamma) enables HDR recording, while the 2/3-inch B4 bayonet mount accepts the broadcast lens ecosystem crews already own. The camcorder records to SD, microP2, and expressP2 media, outputs 4K/UHD 60p 10-bit 4:2:2 over 12G-SDI, and streams directly via RTSP, RTMP, and RTMPS using H.264/AVC. A built-in LAN terminal with lock mechanism supports reliable IP remote control and NDI-based production. Dual XLR inputs and a 4-pin DC output round out a complete field package. For crews building a Panasonic camcorder kit, the AJ-CX4000 sits above the compact AG-CX370, AG-CX350, and AG-CX20 handheld models.
