Panasonic AG-HMX100 A/V Mixer

The Panasonic AG-HMX100 is a compact, all-in-one, digital A/V mixer with a built-in HD/SD multi-format video switcher, audio mixer, frame synchronizer and digital effects generator.  It serves as not only an audio/video switcher, but also 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.  The system is easy to transport, set-up and strike at event sites.  Wide-ranging SDI (HD/SD), PC (DVI-I) and HDMI (HD only) inputs, versatile digital effects, and a comfortable Matrix Menu operation join with advanced functions, such as control of Panasonic professional projectors, 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 switcher for low-cost, easy-to-use, 3D image broadcasting and production systems.  Other features include:
