info

The camera firmware must be up-to-date. At the time this article is written, the latest firmware version for the AG-CX350 camera is version 7.20-00.

info

Pay attention the the CX350 protocol controls the ND variable in relative mode. So it's impossible to recall the ND value with a scene file.

Wiring

info

The control is IP, so you just need the RCP. It works on Ethernet and Wi-Fi. For remote control (4G, RF, etc.), you can add a RIO on the camera side.

Setup

Camera

Set up your network, either static or DHCP in NETWORK > LAN PROPERTY > IPV4 SETTING:

Activate the remote control in NETWORK > IP REMOTE (set it to ENABLE):

Set up an account (login/password) in NETWORK > IP REMOTE (if no account in ACCOUNT LIST, create a new one in USER ACCOUNT):

RCP

If your camera is not in the "default range" of the RCP. You can add a second IP to the RCP:

Then, you can create your camera:

• Click on + in the camera block
• Enter a number and a name
• Select brand Panasonic and model AG-CX350
• Enter the camera IP (in my case 192.168.0.1)
• Enter the camera login and password (in my case ADMIN and A1234567)

If properly configured and setup, it should turn green:
