Q: 1. How many AG-CX350 devices can it handle on one notebook? OR,can it be loaded onto a laptop, which is whre everything ends up anyway?

A: According to Panasonic Support, the module attaches to the camera and is 1 per camera. Additionally, plugging the AW-RM50 into a laptop will not do anything. All it does (when connected to an AG-CX350) is add wireless connectivity if the laptop itself can connect to a network wirelessly. The camera isn't controllable from a computer.

A: This will not be able to work. You will need to do them separately.

A: Yes, the CX350 has an ethernet port that can be used for a wired connection. Or you could use this for a Wireless connection for streaming.

Q: 8. is there a way to record audio to the same file as Video? Right now the audio is in a separate folder and has to be linked by editor. Makes transferring files manually from card for specific news stories impossible. The whole card has to be copied.

A: The Panasonic AJ-PX380 P2 HD AVC-Ultra Camcorder uses the AVC-ULTRA format. Be sure to have the latest AVC-ULTRA software installed in your computer.. Make sure that you follow the software's instructions for downloading. We suspect if you are dragging and dropping, you are leaving invisible software that syncs the video and audio.

Q: 9. Is there a way to extend the range of the SDI cables to greater than 300' when used with the CCU? Could a re-clocker be used on each side (paying attention to direction of signal) to boost the signal to achieve distances of 500'?

A: The Datavideo VP-633 3G/HD/SD-SDI Repeater is a great option to consider, B&H #DAVP633. This offers re-clocking so you can send the signal up to an additional 328 feet. You will be able to achieve the distance needed with this device and pair of SDI cables that add up to 500 feet, such as B&H Numbers DACASDI30045 and CA56HSVB200.

Q: 10. I purchased a microP2 adapter and have updated the firmware on my AG-HPX250 to match.

Is there a way to update the firmware with a UHC-II SDXC card (which is read by my computers SD card slot)?

A: It can only be done through a computer.
