LUMIX BGH1 Operability, Control & Interfaces

In addition to monitoring and remote control via USB tethering, you can control multiple BGH1 cameras remotely via an Ethernet LAN. Users can also capture still images. With the LUMIX Tether for Multicam software* designed specifically for BGH1 workflows, video production is simpler and more powerful.

* LUMIX Tether for Multicam software will be released in the product shipment of BGH1.

A LUMIX first, the BGH1 offers Ethernet compatibility. Simply by connecting an Ethernet cable your camera is powered via PoE+ (IEEE802.3at compliant) and remotely control with LUMIX Tether for Multicam software . A future firmware update will provide IP video streams (RTP/RTSP) over Ethernet.

With multiple camera control and live streaming uses in mind, the BGH1 offers GenLock IN as a first for LUMIX. When used in combination with time code, it enables high-precision editing. Synchronizing to the frame based on an externally input signal, GenLock IN allows for perfect synchronization of multiple cameras for live sports and other challenging applications. Even when using a video switcher, feeds connect seamlessly. And time code is embedded directly in the video for high-precision drone shooting and other single-camera shoots.

The remote terminal (2.5mm super mini jack) of the BGH1 offers compatibility with widely used high-functionality remote controls, a LUMIX first, which enables precise remote operation.

Installing the Panasonic LUMIX Sync Android or iOS app on a smartphone or tablet, you can connect to the BGH1 via Wi-Fi or Bluetooth 4.2 (Low Energy) to monitor images or remotely control the camera. It’s also possible to copy settings from one camera to another using the LUMIX Sync app*, making multiple-camera control simpler.

* Copying must done between cameras of the same model.
