<Notes>

OWhen an editing controller made by CMX is used, support must be provided at the editing controller side.

OIf the remote signal (9 pin) connection is to be disconnected from one component and connected to another instead, recheck the editing controller settings, etc.

OVideo and audio output may be disturbed when the reference video signal is not input, so it is recommended that a system which inputs the reference video signal be used.

This connectivity ensures that professionals can streamline their workflows without compromising quality or efficiency. Additionally, the camcorder comes with multiple input options for external audio components, ensuring high-quality sound capture alongside the visuals.

The AJ-SD955BP is also equipped with advanced features such as built-in digital effects and customizable settings, allowing operators to create unique visual styles.
