New Camera Studio System

A new camera studio system to support low-cost studio integration. 

Two BNC cables allow the transmission of high-quality HD digital 
images, return images, tally signals, wireless mic signals, and 

genlock signals over a cable length of 100 m maximum. An 
additional cable is needed to run camera power.* The AG-EC4G 
Extension Control Unit, enables full control over image adjustments 
and recording, together with the AG-YA500G VF Interface Box, 
which enables return video viewing with the AG-HPX500 series 

viewfinder.

*Power can be supplied only when the AG-BS300 Base Station is driven by an AC power 
source. A separate power cord is also required between the AG-BS300 Base Station and 
the AG-CA300G Camera Adaptor.

Remote Control-Ready

The AG-EC4G Extension Control Unit or AJ-RC10G Remote Control 
Unit* offer both studio use and direct connection to the AG-HPX500 

series. This lets you adjust the images and control the camera 
operation while viewing the monitor.

*The AJ-RC10G can control only functions supported by the AG-HPX500 series. It cannot 

control unsupported keys or dials.

Multi-Camera-Compatible TC-IN/TC-OUT Terminals

The AG-HPX500 series has a built-in SMPTE time code generator/
reader. The TC-IN/TC-OUT terminals are independent, so through-
connection is possible. The AG-HPX500 series supports TC 

synchronous recording using multiple cameras.
