Panasonic HC-X2100 UHD 4K 3G-SDI/HDMI Pro Camcorder with 24x Zoom

Panasonic HC-X2100 UHD 4K 3G-SDI/HDMI Pro Camcorder with 24x Zoom is a compact professional camcorder built for field production, live events, documentary work, corporate video, education, and streaming. It records UHD 4K video at up to 59.94 fps and provides both 3G-SDI and HDMI outputs, allowing it to work as a primary acquisition camera or as part of a larger multi-camera production system.

The camera combines a 1/2.5-inch 8.29MP MOS sensor with a 24x optical zoom lens covering a 25–600mm equivalent range. A detachable handle adds dual XLR audio inputs, an LED light, and additional operating controls, while the articulating touchscreen, OLED viewfinder, wireless connectivity, and IP streaming tools support both traditional field recording and connected production workflows.

Why It Helps

The HC-X2100 gives production teams a practical mix of portability and professional connectivity. Its 3G-SDI output can feed a switcher or external recorder, while HDMI supports local monitoring and additional production equipment. The 24x zoom range also helps a single operator move quickly between establishing shots, medium framing, and distant subjects without changing lenses.

For audio and streaming work, the detachable handle adds the connections normally expected on a professional camcorder. Dual XLR inputs support balanced microphones and phantom power, while built-in H.264 streaming makes it possible to send live video over supported RTMP, RTMPS, RTP, or RTSP workflows without adding a separate encoder.
