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,*2to 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.*3By 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.

FUNCTIONS AND INTERFACES
HD/SD Multi-Format
High-Quality Image Processing
The AG-HMX100 supports 1080i/720p HD and SD images (see
table below). A wipe pattern lets you switch between 16:9 and
4:3 aspect ratios. Full 4:2:2:4 digital component 12bit internal
processing ensures broadcast-grade images.
Supported Video Format
* Mixed operation of different video formats (1080i/720p, HD/SD and 50Hz/59.94Hz) is
not possible. PC (DVI-I) can be input to any system format, but it would be resized to match
and displayed.
7 Video Inputs with PC Image Support and
6 Video Outputs
• 7 video inputs: SDI (HD/SD switchable) x 4 channels, HDMI
(HD only/HDCP and VIERA Link not supported) or video
(composite) x 2 channels, and a DVI-I input capable of inputting
motion or still images from a PC. This provides up to 7 channels
of video input.
• 6 video outputs: 4 SDI outputs (Program (PGM), Preview
(PVW), Multipurpose (AUX), and Multi-View), and 2 DVI-D
outputs (Program (PGM) and Multi-View).
Transitions and Digital Effects
• Transitions: Over 100 wipe patterns and mixes combine with
effects like chroma 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.

HD/SD Digital AV Mixer Functions

Embedded Digital Audio and Analog Audio Mixing
• 10 audio inputs: Select up to 8 audio inputs from 4 SDI embedded
audio inputs (L/R), 2 HDMI embedded audio inputs (L/R), and 4 XLR
audio inputs (L/R). You can mix the 10 audio sources, including AUX
input and MIC input, using a fader control.
• Audio output: SDI embedded audio is output from PGM, PVW, and
AUX terminals, and has XLR (L/R) and pin terminal (L/R) analog outputs.
• Audio effects: Pan, 3 band equalizer, voice changer (pitch/level),
and mute.
• Level meter: Displayed as a Multi-View overlay on the LCD screen.
New Multi-View Function, Built-in Waveform Monitor
The Multi-View function and Multi-View output terminal (SDI/DVI-D)
provide a split 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 live events.
Functions for More Comfortable Operation
• Pattern preset: Up to 7 transition patterns and 6 key patterns can be
directly registered, for retrieval with a single touch.
• Event memory: Records the setting conditions of the effects.
Over 100 settings can be stored in memory, and instantly retrieved with
pattern numbers.
• Key learn: Records and retrieves the key frame settings (positions/levels/
modifiers) and reproduces animation effects. Up to 20 patterns can be
stored in memory, with a maximum of 20 frames per pattern.
• Joystick controller: Enables intuitive operation of effect position setting
and color correction/color selection.
• Numerical keypad: For setting numbers, such as pattern numbers.
Versatile Interfaces
• Tally: Outputs support up to eight input sources. Ideal for live relays.
• GPI: Visual effects including key/transition, downstream key, and fading
can be externally controlled with GPI trigger signal inputs.
• AUX output: Select from PGM/PVW/Multiview output signals, or an
SDI/HDMI input through-out signal.
Power-Saving Eco Design
• Power-saving design: HD images are supported, while power
consumption is decreased by 15% compared to our previous SD-Type
AG-MX70 model.
• Power management: This function automatically switches the power off
when there is no input or operation for a preset period of time. Can be
powered on with a secondary switch on the control panel.

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. For details, visit the 3D special site.

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.
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.
