- A more detailed tutorial on how to Stream with the HC-X2000 and HC-X1500 Panasonic Camcorders.
We did a stream on the subject but had some technical issues during the stream, so Martin have made a more detailed tutorial on how to set up your camera to be ready to stream at the press of a button.
Thank you for this clear walkthrough using rtmp. Extremely helpful.
Excellent information. Thank you very much. Off to purchase an X1500
Thank you for your excellent tutorial and presentation! It was extremely helpful the way you explained all details on the X1500 streaming steps.
Thanks for that, it’s made the process a little clearer 👍
Good to hear! 😊 Cheerio /Martin
THANKS FROM SPAIN, CONGRATULATIONS
Very much looking forward to your X1500 scene file setup and colour grading tutorial.
Thanks for this. Really good tutorial!
Hi! From Spain. Thanks for the tutorial. Is a amazing job. Sorry, but i do everything but a can't put streaming star in user 5. I dont have this option on the menu and the scream. Whats is the problem? And please let me know if is posible to start the streaming for the another way. Thanks a lot for everything.Big hugs
Vamos Padel, I'm having the same issue. If by any chance you come up with the solution would kindly Reply here? Thanks
Please also tell me! I’m having the same problem
We bought this camera in hope to make streaming simple and easy. Well, nope. I´ve been trying to make the camera communicate with facebook streaming (manually input the address and key) but no avail, can´t get anything out. Going to try youtube next.
Hello, I’m sorry to hear that you’re having issues with Facebook and this camera. Did you try with UA-cam and it worked? I’ll test the camera with Facebook Live when I have the time. Thanks for watching our channel. Let me know if you keep having problems. All the best /Martin
@@panasoniclumixnordic6219 with youtube works just fine, np. Still haven't got the foggiest whats up with facebook.
@@panasoniclumixnordic6219 good question about Facebook ! also wondering if we could use our phones as internet hotspots so could steam anywhere ?!
Had a similar issue where streaming to Twitch did not work, but UA-cam did. You might try creating an account on restream.io and streaming to that, then relaying to FB.
Pls need help am using vmix software and blackmagic aten mini and I try connect everything together but after awhile streaming with the camera he goes off pls kindly help out
Just created 3 short videos how to use this feature for a local "Field/Director Monitor". Use your Windows PC or iPhone/iPad as Wireless monitor...
Panasonic needs to add SIM Card Slots and 5g capabilities to the camcorder so WIFI is not needed and the cellular connection is right on the camera !
can you please do it for FB i could not work out how to do it
Okay, I'll check it out and get back to you. /Martin
@@panasoniclumixnordic6219 that would be awsome thankyou very much
Is that possible to stream on tiktok with this camera? Thank you for your help!
I followed the steps but when I hit user 5 it flashes the streaming icon then stops. Do you know what’s wrong? How can I fix it?
I have an ag-cx10 camcorder. Is it possible to live stream using an Ethernet connection instead of streaming wireless?
Why can I only record it 30 minutes live stream?
My cam turns off by itself after a while even while still plugged into power, how do I change that
Hi, i need any special setup on youtube maybe? I followed step by step but no live on youtube. after push No5. I have already enabled live on youtube . all on x2000 panasonic
thank you
Thank you, extremely helpful and we are now able to live stream with one problem. No matter what recording format we pick for example 1080-59.94p or 1080-29.97p, live streaming stops after 13 seconds. wifi speed test 119Mbps download and 17Mbps upload. Any recommendations?
thanks!
Hi I can’t link the hot spot of my iPhone. But it can work on anther android phone. Any suggestion?
Thank you for the tutorial. My steam was up in no time. But what do I do next? Once I got the stream going, what do I tell my audience where to watch the stream? I try right click on the stream which gives me a URL for that video. Do I have to tell the world that URL? That works exact the URL changes with each each stream and so that couldn't possibly be the answer. So, what do I do?
Does it require both the system as well as camera to be connected to same WiFi network and should be in same location?
Once the camera is set up what is required to do another video. Is it this complex for every video. I want to Live Stream to Facebook off of 4&5 G cell phone connections. Thanks
Hello, are you able to stream to Facebook with this camera?
@@naturepussy9079 didn’t buy one
Hi thank you for sharing amazing video, I have a question? why I have everything done right and when I got to camera to select a User, no user shows Star Streaming?
I’m having a system error when I start the live video streaming then start recording on the camera. How can I solve this issue on Panasonic HC-X1500?
Hi! Thank you for this explanation! Very good! I ask you if it's possibile to transfer video files from the camera to a computer or an iphone, via wi-fi, and how I can do it? I tried with Image App but the app don't recognise the camera. Thank you in advance for your answer!
4:33 Yes, it is very time consuming to type a long stream key to the camera, specially if like in my case you're setting up 4 cameras at once. Which tool will allow me to create the XML to put on the card? can't find it anywhere.
BTW, the manual on the X1500 is hardly useful. There's a lot missing regarding the wifi and streaming connectivity. I expect more from a professional camcorder.
For those wondering, I found the answer myself. The tool is called "P2 Network Setting Software". eww.pass.panasonic.co.jp/pro-av/support/content/download/EN/ep2main/nw_setting_e.htm
How do you add the post title and description before streaming from the panasonic camcorder?
can you livestream to a site that needs username and password as well as the url and key? I can link to youtube, facebook and similar but I can't conect to IBM or Dracast, which I want. The x1500 is advertised as being able to connect to just about any site but as far as I can tell that is not correct. There is a username and password input but that is for the wireless connection, not the streaming site. Am I missing something? Also is there any Panasonic technical support? I found the general site but was told "Panasonic cameras don't stream, they take photos and videos"!!??
Thanks. I dont know why on the STREAMING menu, all items are gray out, accept RTSP PORT. How can I input the info such as URL into the camera?
Hey I just had this issue as well. Change the camera recording mode to any 1080p mode and the options will be there!
@@col Hey Colin, how do setup user buttons?
BLOCK BORN ENTERPRISES saw this didn’t get answered. Did you figure it out? I’m having the same problem.
Hi. I've followed all your instructions but when I press start streaming the 'cell tower' flashes on screen and no connection is made. Any ideas?
Hi Richard, did you first confirm under Status that you the camera have been given an IP address from your router? Are you setting up for UA-cam or other provider? Regards /Martin
@@panasoniclumixnordic6219 I am currently having the same problem. When I check status I am getting an IP address from the network is strong and I'm streaming in 720p. I've input the same settings as in this tutorial but when I hit stream start the cell tower icon flashes with waves and then goes back to the default. I have tried streaming to a private server and to youtube but neither work. Any help would be greatly appreciated
Hi Richard, I have the exact problem that you have. Wondering if you have figured it out. Please let me know
HI Richard, Did you get a fix for this problem? I am having the same issue.
Make sure your Network -> WLAN IpV4 Setting - DHCP is set to client so that your router can assign an IP address
Can I do wireless streaming to Wirecast with this method?
I can get my HC X1500 to connect to my WiFi and can input my rtmp URL. I get the network strength icon showing up, but I do not get the "cell tower" one to show up. I assigned User 5 to be Start Stream, but when I hit it I get a message that says "Invalid" in a black stripe across the screen. I tried changing the video resolution and frame rate several times but I cannot get the "cell tower" to appear. Any idea how to troubleshoot this?
To answer my own question, there is an obscure setting under Network -> Network Func. Options are STREAMING and OFF. Must set this to STREAMING. Then you will get the "cell tower". Now I wish I could find a way to record to the SD card in 4KUHD/60fps but stream out a "dumbed down" format like 1080p/30fps at the same time. My workaround I am going to attempt is to record in 4K/60fps, dumb down the HDMI output to 1080/60fps, and then find a small piece of hardware to drop the frame rate from 60 to 30 fps and use an Epiphan Webcaster X2 to stream RTMP to UA-cam. Pray for Mojo.
@@AndrewGelina did it work?
@@kalkydra Once I changed to the STREAMING option it did.
Can you I stream wirelessly to wirecast or any streaming software?
Hi. I've followed all your instructions but when I press start streaming the 'cell tower flashes extremely fast then just displays the tower on the screen and no connection is made. Any ideas? I have verified the status and I have the router information is being displayed, I am having the same exact problem as Richard down below. Is their a troubleshooting video for this problem?
Hi Frank, Did you get a fix for this problem? I am having the same issue.
Make sure under Network -> WLAN IpV4 SETTING -> WLAN is set to CLIENT to allow your router to establish in IP address. When you go to Network -> Information -> STATUS, you should see an IP address that is not the default 192.168.0.1. Otherwise, it will look like you are connected to your router or hotspot, but you won't be able to connect to the internet and stream.

No I followed this tutorial to a T, I get the cell tower and internet icon but no radio around the tower it flashes for 1 second then no radio signal
Christopher Ross
Still trying to get to live stream on UA-cam. I followed your instructions to the T. I have both the cell tower and the internet icon, when I hit user button 5 to start the stream along with record, I get a 1 second radio flash around the cell tower. It transmits a black screen to you tube. Any suggestions for this please respond ASAP
Frank LeBoeuf
Did you try lowering your broadcast resolution? I got a black screen on UA-cam when I tried streaming at 1080P 24M. When I stepped down to 720P 8M then UA-cam started showing the video.
You might also try running a speed test at speedtest.net and see what you upload speeds are. Ideally at least 10Mbps.
Nice video. Does the x2000 come with a clean HDMI output so that I do not see the menu items on the display while streaming (using ATEM Mini)?
yes, it does have clean HDMI
Is it possible for this camera, HC-X2000 (I'm now renting to try it out) to be used as a webcam for ZOOM calls? Do I need to set up the Stream protocol? Can I just connect to my computer and use natively? Thanks in advance for your response. MB
To use this camera as a webcam, you would need an HDMI capture device (like this www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1560607-REG/pengo_technology_8rgra_h01hu4t0pe_4k_hdmi_grabber.html/mode/edu) and select it as your webcam in Zoom.
If you don’t want to use a capture device and want try to to grab the video from the built in streamer, you need to setup a local RMTP server. Try this vid for more details m.ua-cam.com/video/Dv-VfZ0GFJ4/v-deo.html
Good morning, I have the Panasonic hc x2000 and trying to live stream via UA-cam. This is their message "the stream's current bit rate (1394.44 Kbps) is higher than the recommended bit rate. We recommend that you use a stream bit rate of 750 Kbps" I am using the streaming format of 640x360-25fps 4M. Can you offer any advice please?
Dont worry about it. Its just UA-cam giving you that information from their suggested bit rates.. It makes no difference to you or your stream.
Any SRT updates?:) mb 50i streaming?
Is it possible to use the X1500/2000 as an NDI source with NDI enabled switchers eg OBS, Switcher Studio?
Hi Rodney, no that’s not available with the X1500 and X2000. For that you should look at the AG-CX10 but support for that model is through Panasonic Pro AV (we’re on consumer and Lumix) Hope you find what you look for. Best regards /Martin
I’m still confused to wether or not you need the computer to actually start your stream or not.
I am investigating this as I write this message. So far all indicates that yes, you need to start on your browser a UA-cam live stream session and then click start streaming from the camcorder. Looking if there is actually a way to just live stream directly from the camcorder without this step.
No you don’t. See my reply to DOM above.
Hi, good short tutorial on how to start the streaming. It works very good. However I have a question, do you always need to go to the desktop version of UA-cam and start a livestream session there? So that when you start it on the camera you actually make the livestream?
I have tested it and if you do not start the livestream in the UA-cam through the browser, and start anyway the livestream from the camcorder, it will say it is live streaming on the camera, but actually your are not, since there is no livestream session initiated in the browser.
Thanks for the feedback
So found the answer in the manual. Page 178:
- Perform an operation from the application software to stop streaming.
- Only RTSP is available when starting streaming with an operation from the application software.
-For details about the operations to start streaming from the application software, please see the manual for the application software.
- Streaming stops when performing operations such as displaying the thumbnail screen or playing back clips on the unit.
-Streaming may stop when the date/time is set while streaming.
So apparently this will only work only if you start the GoLive streaming from the Desktop UA-cam website, it will not work from any mobile device. Has anyone found a workaround?
You’re right, YT require that you start livestream from desktop version. It’s kind of odd, but I also remember seeing a notification that it depends on how many followers you have... 🤔
All the best /Martin
@@panasoniclumixnordic6219 Yes, if you want to do it from mobile device you require 1000 subscribers. That makes sense if you are small news channel or youtuber, in my case I just wanted it for streaming holidays or events for family, so being limited to having to start the stream in the desktop version is kind of a bummer, I am going to be looking for a workaround.
Found 2 ways to start streaming to UA-cam immediately without requiring starting a livestream from the desktop (and does not require 1,000 subs).
First option is to use your key from UA-cam "Classic Streaming". From a desktop, go to studio.youtube.com where you would normally start a live stream. In the bottom left click on the running man icon to go to the Classic Streaming page, which will take you to a ua-cam.com/users/live_dashboard page for your channel. Here, you can setup your stream options. Most importantly, the stream key provided on the classic page is NOT the same key as you get on studio page. If you use the key from the classic page and plug this into your HC-X1500/HC-X2000, it will initiate a live stream straight away - no desktop computer needed.
Second option is to create a free account on restream.io and link your YT account. Then set your HC-X1500/HC-X2000 to stream to the restream RTMP url/key. It will start streaming live on YT immediately. As an added bonus, you can multicast and stream simultaneously to other platforms as well.
Christopher Ross Thanks for this! Gonna try it ASAP
Can this camera stream to Vimeo? I have tried it with your instructions here and have been unsuccessful. Thanks
Well, as long as you can get the correct server info and stream key (I have never used vimeo) it should work. How far did you get? We will try to help if we can. /Sebastian
I am having the same problem as Frank, Richard and the others. I have a strong signal, but the cell tower flashes and then shuts off when I start to stream. I am trying to stream to UA-cam. I have tried to connect with both my phone (which will be what I need for an upcoming wedding), and with my home WiFi to try to get anything to work. Has anyone discovered the fix to this problem?
I figured it out. In case others are having trouble. When you go to Network, the WLAN properties, InfraSelect, the camera will say it will connect for you. But you have to check it in the Ipv4 settings, to make sure that it copied everything correctly. I had to manually fix all those settings. Once I did that, I was able to get it to connect to my iPhone hotspot and to my home WiFi. It took hours to figure it out, but I got it to work.
@@halajaproductions7284 pleas can you explain more pleas i cant understand you.
4:27 what tool do you mean at this point, and how do I use it?
Thomas Kalladan Hi Thomas, if you download the extended manual from panasonic you will find exactly how to do it in page 180. I cannot explain it here because will be pointless, you need to see the manual. Cheers!
Is it the same process for Facebook live?
Yes, same with any streaming provider that use RTMP streaming protocol. You just need the streaming URL/key. All the best /Martin
Do these support clean hdmi out?
Yes it does, I’ve tested it and also confirmed by Panasonic at link below:
eng-ca.faq.panasonic.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/58185/p/7/c/71802
Yes indeed, all Panasonic camcorders down to V180 consumer level have clean HDMI out. 👍🏻
Video low light very noisy. Color skin is no good. It is a terrible camera.
Are you sure it is not your color balance settings?
