Part Names and Functions
14. RET signal selection switch
This is a switch to select the return signal from this unit
to the camera adapter.
Select the RET signal supplied to either the 7.RET IN
VIDEO signal connector or the 8.RET IN SDI signal
connector.
SDI: Selects the SDI signal supplied to the 8.RET IN
SDI signal connector. However, if the SDI is
selected in HD mode, it is possible to transfer
VIDEO signal simultaneously.
The video output from the RET OUT connector
of the camera adapter differs in HD format and
SD format. For further details, refer to the
operating instructions for the AG-CA300G.
VIDEO:Selects the VIDEO signal supplied to the 7.RET
IN VIDEO signal connector.
15. REMOTE connector
Connect the AG-EC4G (optional) or the AJ-RC10G
(optional), and controls the camera recorder.
16. DC IN 12 V connector
External DC power supply is connected when operating
this unit with DC. Use a power supply with a capacity of
DC 12 V 3 A or higher.
When using an external DC power, use a shielded cable
3 meters or shorter between the external DC power and
this unit. This unit will go into DC operation status when
the DC power supplying connector is connected to this
connector.
When only a DC power supply is supplied to this unit,
DC 24 V is not output from the 1.DC OUT 24 V
connector. DC 24 V is output from the 1.DC OUT 24 V
connector only when the AC power is supplied to this
unit. (Refer to page 22)
_ Use of external DC power supply
Make sure that the output voltage of the external DC power
supply meets the rated voltage of the unit before making a
connection.
The output current of the external DC power supply should be
large enough to provide the connected unit with its total
amperage needs with a reasonable margin.
Use the following formula to calculate the total amperage of
the unit.
total power consumption c voltage
When the power is turned on, a rush current occurs. If the
power supply is insufficient during this time, the unit may be
damaged. Therefore, we recommend using an external DC
power supply that provides at least twice the total power
consumed by the unit. We also recommend using the proper
DC cable recommended for your external DC power supply.
When using an external power supply other than the AC
adapter, check the DC IN socket pin information to ensure
correct polarity. If a +12 V power supply is accidentally
connected to the GND terminal, this could cause a fire or
personal injury.
17. AC IN connector
This is a connector to supply AC power to this unit.
This is connected to the power outlet using the attached
AC power supply cable.

18. Cable hook
This is used to prevent the AC power supply cable
slipping off.
