Control Unit, which enables full control over image adjustments and
recording, teams with the lightweight, compact, and highly mobile
AG-CA300G Camera Adaptor.
*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 Remote Control Unit or AJ-RC10G Remote
Control Unit* offer both studio use and direct connection to the
AJ-HPX3100. This lets you adjust the images and control the camera
operation while viewing the monitor.
*The remote control unit can control only functions supported by the
AJ-HPX3100. It cannot control unsupported keys or dials.
HD/SD SDI Output Terminals and Down-Converter
Two video line output terminals (BNC) are provided as standard
equipment and flexibly support monitoring and line recording. The
built-in down-converter outputs high-quality SD video signals for
broadcasting use. The aspect mode can also be selected.
•SDI OUT (HD/SD):
Can also output signals with embedded audio.
Backup recording operation can be interlinked with the Rec Start/
Stop controls of an HD-SDI input-equipped Panasonic recorder, such
as the AG-HPG20, etc. The AJ-HPX3100 can also output down-
converted SD-SDI from an HD source.
•MON OUT:
Can output HD SDI/SD SDI/Composite. HD signals can
be down converted.
Standard HD/SD SDI Input Terminals
The AJ-HPX3100 supports line recording through the SDI input
terminal; thus, it can be used as a portable recorder. It supports
1080/59.94i, 1080/50i, 480/59.94i and 576/50i input signals.
*The input signal must be in the same format as the recording format of the camera recorder.
Genlock Terminal for Return Video Signal Input
Return video signal (analog HD-Y signal) input to the GENLOCK IN
terminal or HD/SD video signal (HD/SD SDI signal) input to the SDI IN
terminal can be viewed on the viewfinder.
*The input signal must be in the same format as the recording format of the camera recorder.
XLR Audio Input with Automatic Switching Function
The 2-channel XLR audio input terminals on the rear panel are
compatible with a +48 V phantom power supply. The new automatic
front/rear switching function automatically selects the rear input
signal when input is connected to the rear terminal.
USB 2.0 Interface
The AJ-HPX3100 incorporates the Host and Device USB 2.0 as
standard connectors. In Device mode, a P2 card slot can be used as
an external PC device. In Host mode, an external hard disk drive can
be connected, making it easy to copy data from the P2 card to HDD.
The thumbnails of stored video in HDD also can be viewed.
TC IN, TC OUT Terminals
The AJ-HPX3100 has a built-in SMPTE time code generator/reader.
TC IN and OUT terminals make time code throughput possible. This
permits an external time-code lock.
