LUMIX Livestreaming

Panasonic’s Semi Pro Camcorders are compatible with standard streaming protocols which enable live streaming to the internet via a router or wireless network. No other hardware is required!

The camcorders listed can run continuously with constant power using the AC adaptors included in the box. They offer an easy to use streaming solution with minimal setup required. These cameras also offer IP connection via RTSP.

If you set up your live streaming using a broadcast software like OBS, LUMIX Webcam Software (beta) can be an option to use the LUMIX cameras without a capture device.

Users have two options to get their cameras/camcorders ready for streaming. One easy option is to create a streaming file is with the P2 Network Setting Software (for Windows) that is then loaded into the camera via a memory card. The other option is to type the streaming key directly into the camera. If you are going to be using different streaming services regularly creating streaming files is the best option. Download the P2 Network Setting Software and Save the Program to an accessible Location (e.g. your desktop)

Open the app and go to Streaming>RTMP tab and enter your streaming details.

There are plenty of programs available for streaming with a computer. We will focus on the free and popular OBS Studio and Streamlabs OBS. Open Broadcast Software (OBS) is open source and a very popular choice for new streamers. Streamlabs OBS is another free software that is based on OBS but includes various additional functions. Streamlabs OBS give users the ability to easily customize what their stream looks like. Users can create a number of different layouts (or Scenes as they are called) and switch between them while the broadcast is running. These layouts can be made up of different inputs such as games, browsers, or other desktop apps, and even different cameras, and the ability to switch on the fly can make the stream look very polished. The possibilities are endless!
