Features
The AG-HMX100 is a compact, all-in-one, digital AV mixer with a built-in HD/SD multi-format
video switcher, audio mixer, frame synchronizer and digital effector. It serves
as an audio/video switcher, adds a variety of effects, and transmits signals - all
by itself. A Multi-View function displays all source images on a single monitor,
while keeping the system configuration simple and clean.
Users benefit from easy delivery, set-up and removal at event sites, as well as
low-cost operation. Wide-ranging SDI (HD/SD), PC (DVI-I) and HDMI (HD only) inputs,
versatile digital effects, and comfortable Matrix Menu operation join with advanced
functions, such as control of Panasonic professional projectors, to configure a
low-cost system that supports a wide variety of applications, from live relays and
broadcasting to production. The AG-HMX100 can also operate as a 3D video switcher
with dual SDI inputs. By combining it with several 3D cameras and 3D projectors,
it can serve as a 3D live switching system for low-cost, easy-to-use, 3D image broadcasting
and production systems.

keying, luminance keying, DSK, and fading. M/E preview and DSK preview are also
supported
-
Digital Effects: Built-in digital effects include mosaic, defocus, monocolor,
still, strobe, multi-strobe, decay, paint, negative and mirror. Still, strobe
and multi-strobe effects allow selection of field or frame displays

display of the PVW, PGM, and all source images on a single screen. Displays of
each of the input signal names and audio level meters can also be overlaid. The
built-in
-
Waveform Monitor (WFM) function displays the waveforms of video Y signals, allowing
multi-channel systems to be operated with a single monitor
Matrix Menu and Rotary Switch
The large LCD panel allows easy monitoring of system status. The 5 column, 3 row
matrix menu automatically displays setting items according to the operating status,
so the relevant settings can be quickly checked or changed. Settings that have a
large number of selections can also be quickly and intuitively displayed and set
by using the rotary switch. This provides easy, comfortable settings control for
the AG-HMX100's many diverse functions.
Projector Control Function
The power switch and shutter for Panasonic professional projectors can be turned
on and off by RS-232C remote control. This allows convenient projector use during

A Professional HD 3D Production System
The AG-HMX100 Digital AV Mixer fully supports the Panasonic shift toward 3D world.
Combined with the Panasonic AG-3DA1 Integrated Twin-Lens 3D Camera Recorder, and
the 3D-compatible BT-3DL2550 Professional LCD Video Monitor, which lets you view
3D footage on-site, this professional HD 3D production system makes it easy to produce
and transmit high-quality 3D images.
Supports Switched Transmission of 3D Camera Images
The AG-HMX100 can operate as a 3D video switcher with dual SDI signal inputs from
3D cameras. It comes with two pairs of inputs and one pair of outputs for 3D video
signals. It is possible to configure a 3D live switching system by combining it
with several 3D cameras and 3D projection systems. Both Simul and Side-by-Side 3D
output methods are supported. When two AG-HMX100 units are connected, they can serve
as a 3D video switcher for up to four 3D cameras (only the switcher function operates.
Effects such as ME cannot be used. Other functions, such as Multi-View, WFM, and
title mix, are not supported.)
3D Live Display System
This system produces 3D live images by using two AG-3DA1 Integrated Twin-Lens 3D
Camera Recorders and switching the image transmission for display on a professional
DLP projector. It is also possible to monitor the PGM image with the BT-3DL2550
3D-Compatible LCD Monitor.
3D x 4-Input System
This 4-input switching system creates 3D content by using two P2 Mobile units to
combine the images from three 3D cameras. When two AG-HMX100 units are connected,
they can serve as a 3D video switcher for up to four 3D cameras. Dynamic 3D live
videos can be displayed on a large screen for high-brightness, high-contrast 3D
projection by using two professional DLP projectors.
