Using a wi-fi Adapter for Remote Control of the AG-UX90 and AG-UX180 The new AG-UX90 and AG-UX180 camcorders offer the capability of utilizing an optional wi-fi adapter to provide remote control from an Apple iPad. This paper will describe the setup procedures for getting the camera to work with the AG ROP app, the free Panasonic app for the iPad that controls the AG-UX90 and AG-UX180 (and also the AG-DVX200). In this paper I will outline the simplest procedure for setting up the camera and the iPad for remote control operation. The necessary equipment and software include: 1. The camera (either a UX90, UX180, or DVX200) 2. The wireless adapter (I'm using an AJ-WM50P) 3. The Panasonic AG ROP App, available from the Apple App Store. 4. An Apple iPad to run the AG ROP App software. Note, this app works only on the iPad, not on an iPhone. The Wireless Adapter Before considering wireless remote control, you'll first need to secure a wireless wi-fi adapter. The cameras themselves do not have any inherent wi-fi capability, but they can work with a wi-fi adapter through their USB Host ports. Panasonic AJ-WM50P Panasonic has certified three wireless adapters for use with the cameras as of the time of this writing (January 2017). Those adapters are the Panasonic AJ-WM30, the AJ-WM50, and the ASUS USB-N53 (hardware version A1). It is possible that other adapters may work, but is not guaranteed. Check the panasonic.com website for any updated announcements about certified network adapters. Simple Network Setup The networking capability built into the cameras is substantial and you can get as complex as you want, but the process of connecting to the network can be extremely easy as well. First: install the network adapter in the camera's USB Host port. The USB Host port is located on the right side of the viewfinder, on top of the camera, under a door that says "USB HOST". Second: go into the camera's Other Function menu, and set the USB MODE menu item to "ON", and the USB MODE SELECT menu item to "HOST". Within a few seconds, you should see a small "wi-fi" icon appear at the top of the screen, indicating that the wi-fi adapter is active. 2
