Panasonic AV-HLC100 | Live Streaming Production Center

The AV-HLC100 live production center is an AV production unit from Panasonic that allows for a high-quality, professional transmission to be enabled where there are a limited number of operators available, making it a suitable option for live-streams, conferencing facilities and event/staging facilities.

Combining the functionalities found with a 1ME switcher, PTZ camera controller and audio mixer into a single device, the AV-HLC100 makes it possible for a single person to operate all functionalities within a transmission.

For PTZ camera operation, both the connection and settings can be managed via the Easy-IP connection function whilst pan, tilt and zoom operations can be performed using the large joystick.

Output format support includes 1080/59.94p and 50p in addition to a cross-conversion functionality between 1080p and 720p. Flexible transmission can also be achieved through the ability to mix embedded, line-input and mic-input audio into the video.

The AV-HLC100 also supports both NDI|HX, RTMP and RTMPS network protocols, with the latter allowing direct transmission to be made into live streaming services such as YouTube Live for example.

With a full line-up of professional integrated cameras with built-in NDI|HX support now available, the introduction of the AV-HLC100 supports a complete live production system purely over IP with a single-cable workflow that enables very low latency video, audio, PTZ control, tally and power all over a single CAT5 cable.
