7SHUTTER switch

This is set to ON when the electronic shutter is to be used. When the SEL side is pressed, the shutter speed and mode display are changed in the range which was set ahead of time in the setting menu.

If this switch setting is changed while the display mode is set to “2” or “3,” the new setting will appear at the shutter display position on the viewfinder screen.

(Example: “: 1/120”, “: 50%”, “: 180d”)

8ECU REMOTE (remote control) connector (6- pin)

The AJ-EC3 extension control unit (optional accessory) is connected here.

<Note>

Before connecting or disconnecting the remote control cable, be absolutely sure to set the POWER switches on the unit and extension control unit to the OFF position.

9HD SDI MON connector (BNC)

The HD SDI signals (video and audio) for the monitor in accord with the position of the MONITOR OUT switch ; are output from here.

When the MONITOR OUT switch is at “EE/PB,” the

EEvideo and EE audio signals will be output during recording and the playback video and playback audio signals will be output during playback.

When the MONITOR OUT switch is at “EE,” the camera video signals are output at all times.

When the CHARACTER switch is set to ON while performing the menu settings, it is possible to superimpose the setting menus onto the pictures being shot so that they can be checked on the monitor screen.

The user bits are also output from the HD SDI MON connector.

The active frame count is output to the four higher digits of the user bits. The count is reset to zero each time recording starts, and the count is incremented with each active frame.

The active frame information is output to the lowest digit of the user bits while the frame rate information is output to the third and fourth lower digits.

<Note>

In order for the time code that matches the playback time code, which is output from the HD SDI MON connector, to be output from the TC OUT connector, set the MONITOR OUT switch to “EE/PB,” and select “TCG/TCR” as the TC OUT item setting on the TC/UB screen.

:HD SDI EE connector (BNC)

The HD SDI camera signals are always output from here. No menu items are contained in the output signals which are supplied from this connector.

The active frame information is allocated to the user bits in the time code data in the signals and output from the connector. Use this connector when connecting a backup recorder for recording.

The images may be disrupted when the frame rate has been changed or recording has started. For details, refer to “Variable frame rate” (page 63).
