Panasonic
AJ-PX380G

AJ-PX380G can initiate FTP, SFTP transfer of P2 main-material clips, proxy clips over wired Ethernet; Wi-Fi via optional module; 4G/LTE USB modem. The documented route accepts a user-configured server; it is suitable for a destination-neutral ingest gateway after protocol, firmware, and payload testing.

TRANSPORT

wired Ethernet + Wi-Fi via optional module + 4G/LTE USB modem

The documented network paths available to the camera or its required transmitter.

PAYLOAD

P2 main-material clips · proxy clips

File behavior is quoted conservatively until a Camera to Anywhere fixture reproduces it.

TRIGGER

manual selected-clip transfer and automatic upload after recording

Transfer can begin from the documented camera-side behavior shown here.

STATUS

Documented.
Not lab-verified.

Some one-file recording formats have a 4 GB FTP-transfer limitation Physical Camera to Anywhere interoperability is not yet lab-verified.

Gather these items first, then enter the Camera to Anywhere job credential exactly as issued. The camera sends to the public ingest edge; your private destinations stay downstream.

PREREQUISITES
  1. 01

    Establish a supported route: wired Ethernet; Wi-Fi via optional module; 4G/LTE USB modem.

  2. 02

    Have the required hardware or provisioning ready: AJ-WM30/AJ-WM50 wireless module for Wi-Fi; supported 4G/LTE modem for mobile broadband.

  3. 03

    Prepare a reachable FTP, SFTP server, login, writable directory, and enough server capacity for P2 main-material clips, proxy clips.

  4. 04

    Firmware qualification: Some one-file recording formats have a 4 GB FTP-transfer limitation.

CONNECTION FIELDS

SERVER URL

The server name or address; append only the folder syntax documented by Panasonic for this model.

Defines both the destination host and, where supported, its login-relative folder.

LOGIN USER

The camera/event-specific account name.

Authenticates the FTP client.

LOGIN PASSWORD

The password issued with that account.

Completes server authentication.

SSH

Enable only when the model documents SSH and the server is configured for the corresponding secure file-transfer mode.

Switches supported P2 models from plain FTP transport to their documented SSH-secured behavior.

SSH PORT

The exact SSH port configured on the server.

Must match the server whenever SSH is enabled.

REC DURING UPLOAD / upload target

Choose proxy or recorded/main clip behavior supported by the current recording format.

Controls what is queued after recording.

WHAT ACTUALLY MOVES

Transfer behavior,
without the guesswork.

TRANSFER MODES
  • Documented operation: manual selected-clip transfer and automatic upload after recording.
  • Begin with a manually selected short clip; enable automatic/record-during-upload only after end-to-end verification.
MEDIA BEHAVIOR
  • Documented payload classes: P2 main-material clips, proxy clips.
  • Main material and proxy are separate transfer targets where documented; confirm the active recording format creates the chosen payload.
  • Do not remove or format the recording card while an upload is pending or active.
LIMITS + WARNINGS
  • Required equipment/provisioning: AJ-WM30/AJ-WM50 wireless module for Wi-Fi; supported 4G/LTE modem for mobile broadband.
  • Some one-file recording formats have a 4 GB FTP-transfer limitation
  • Test large files and the selected recording format before production; older P2 manuals document format- or size-specific transfer restrictions.
FIELD VERIFICATION

Prove the path before the green flag.

Run this checklist on the exact body, firmware, network, and media format you will use on assignment.

  1. 01Confirm the camera has an IP address and can resolve/reach the server.
  2. 02Transfer one short eligible clip and confirm it appears in the assigned folder.
  3. 03Open the received file and compare size/duration with the source.
  4. 04Confirm whether the received object is main material or proxy.
  5. 05If automatic upload is enabled, record another short clip and verify the queue and completion state without removing the card.
TROUBLESHOOTING

If it will not send,
start here.

01FTP CLIENT SERVICE or UPLOAD is unavailable.

Verify firmware, network device selection, adapter recognition, recording/playback state, and any profile or license prerequisite.

02The server cannot be reached.

Confirm DHCP/static address, gateway, DNS, server URL, port, route, and venue firewall/NAT behavior.

03Authentication succeeds but copying fails.

Check destination syntax, write permission, free space, card state, file-size limits, and whether the format is eligible.

04SFTP/SSH will not negotiate.

Match the SSH port and server encryption algorithms to those supported by the camera/manual revision.

05Automatic upload pauses or never queues.

Check upload enablement, profile state, recording format, card access load, shot-mark/proxy filters, and incompatible streaming/NDI modes.

BEFORE FIELD USE

Documentation gets us to the menu. Hardware earns the badge.

This guide compiles all discovered FTP-related setup evidence for this model, but it is not a promise that every firmware version and venue network will behave identically. Verification records the exact body, firmware, access point, protocol, payload, and result.
