Description: This beautiful beast is a mixer and effects powerhouse from yesteryear... and there are a ton of videos showing how to use it for things like TV news production. I've had it for a couple of years with great plans to incorporate it into my lab, and before that it was very lightly used in a local small-town government office. Video connectivity is YPbPr component, and I have the original printed operating manual (rare). This does not have the optional SDI board. Lazily quoting from the brochure (photocopy included): With the AG-MX70 digital A/V mixer, Panasonic has integrated a 2-BUS, 8-input video switcher, multi-functional digital video effects unit with high-end performance, and an audio mixer into a single compact unit. The AG-MX70 provides broadcast-grade 4:2:2:4 digital component picture quality. It features more than 600 effect patterns and a 30-frame graphics buffer for roll, crawl, and logo animation using title files downloaded from a PC. A large LCD panel with a matrix menu helps assure quick, easy operation. Offering optional 3D video effects and SDI interface, this A/V mixer is ready for full-fledged digital post-production. The versatile AG-MX70 is right at home when connected to 25 Mbps DVCPRO VTRs in a digital editing system, or when used as a switcher either in the studio or at live events. 4:2:2:4 Digital Processing, 16:9 Wipe Patterns The AG-MX70 provides high quality 4:2:2:4 digital component signal processing, and wipe patterns accommodates both 16:9 and 4:3 image production needs. Large LCD Screen, Matrix Menu A large LCD panel permits easy monitoring of system status. A five-row matrix menu display with five rotary switches makes it easy to understand and set the AG-MX70's multitude of functions. The menu, which is linked to keys on the operating panel, automatically switches to show the necessary settings. This simplifies operation and reduces steps. 2D and 3D Video Effects Equipped with over 600 2-dimensional effects -- including transition and key patterns, mosaic, paint, trail, and multiimage digital effects -- the versatile AG-MX70 has all it takes to create professional production results. The optional AG-VE70 3D Effects Board provides more than 1,600 3D digital effects, including page turn, ripple, and sphere. The 2D and 3D effects can be combined to create sophisticated image expressions that rival many high-end DVEs. Roll, Crawl, and Logo Animation MX-Navi makes it easy to download graphics files (TGA, BMP, JPEG) created with the other graphics applications, via a USB terminal. Downloads go to the internal graphics buffer* for use in creating roll or crawl titles, logo animation, and other effects. *NTSC: 640 x 480 pixels x 30 frames, PAL: 768 x 576 pixels x 26 frames 8 Video Inputs The AG-MX70 is ready for live multi-camera feeds, with a total of eight analog composite inputs, or four analog component Y/Pb/Pr or YC inputs and four SDI inputs. Joy Stick Controller The easy-to-handle joystick lets you intuitively position or size your effects, and select or adjust colors. Audio Mixing The AG-MX70 provides versatile audio mixing with four Stereo Inputs plus two Auxiliary Mono Inputs, one of which may be a mic input. Audio can be linked or unlinked to video transitions. The AG-MX70 is also equipped with a headphone jack. The level meters are displayed on the LCD. Tally Output Tally outputs for up to eight cameras are provided, for using the AG-MX70 as a switcher at live events. Other Functions Numeric keypad for setting pattern numbers and other values. A total of 13 patterns are preset; other patterns can be stored in memory. Digital chroma key, digital luminance key M/E(Mix Effects) preview, DSK(Down Stream Key) preview Editor terminal (9-pin) for either RS-422 or RS-232C connection-------------------------------- I have fired it up and played with it a bit, and have really been planning to incorporate it into my digitizing lab... but I just haven't really had the need. Time for it to find a more appreciative new home!
