Panasonic AJ-PX5000G FTP setup

FTPAccessory-assisted camera client2013

AJ-PX5000G can initiate FTP 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.

Menu path: Main menu → NETWORK SETUP → FTP CLIENT SERVICE > SETTING DATA → MANUAL > SERVER URL / credentials / SSH > Thumbnail → FTP / FTP Explorer > REC DURING UPLOAD / automatic transfer. Protocols: FTP. Sends: P2 main-material clips · proxy clips.

Before you touch the menu

What to gather

01Establish a supported route: wired Ethernet; Wi-Fi via optional module; 4G/LTE USB modem.
02Have the required hardware or provisioning ready: AJ-WM30/AJ-WM50 wireless module for Wi-Fi; supported 4G/LTE modem for mobile broadband.
03Prepare a reachable FTP server, login, writable directory, and enough server capacity for P2 main-material clips, proxy clips.
04Firmware qualification: Adapter compatibility depends on firmware/manual revision; the cited brochure establishes FTP but is not used to infer SFTP.

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.

The menu, step by step

Main menu → NETWORK SETUP → FTP CLIENT SERVICE

REC DURING UPLOAD / automatic transfer

manual selected-clip transfer and automatic upload after recording

What moves, and what does not

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 and warnings

Required equipment/provisioning: AJ-WM30/AJ-WM50 wireless module for Wi-Fi; supported 4G/LTE modem for mobile broadband.
Adapter compatibility depends on firmware/manual revision; the cited brochure establishes FTP but is not used to infer SFTP
Test large files and the selected recording format before production; older P2 manuals document format- or size-specific transfer restrictions.

Prove it on your body

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

Adapter compatibility depends on firmware/manual revision; the cited brochure establishes FTP but is not used to infer SFTP Physical Camera to Anywhere interoperability is not yet lab-verified.

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

If it will not send

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.

04Automatic upload pauses or never queues.

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