Features
1. The unit can be used to operate the VTR sections of DVCPRO, DVCPRO50 and
DVCPRO HD camera recorders.

≥ VTR warnings are indicated by an LED.
2. Video signals with characters added (SETUP menus, etc.) can be output from the unit's
VIDEO OUT connector.
≥ Since the SETUP menus are not displayed on the viewfinder of the camera recorder,
the camera can be controlled using the AJ-EC3P's SETUP menus even during
shooting.
≥ The SETUP menu screens can be output even when no video signals are supplied.

existing models AQ-EC1 and AJ-EC2.

4. By organizing the SETUP menus hierarchically, menu selection is facilitated and
operating ease has been improved.

EC3P protocol, and it switches to a mode in which the same functions as the existing
model AQ-EC1 and AJ-EC2 are operated.
