General
The AJ-RC10G (hereinafter called “the unit”) is a remote control unit connected to the camera recorder.
The unit controls the camera recorder from the controller and is capable of changing numerical values 
in the menu. Coverage can be extended by 50m by using the dedicated cable.
Features
zFor some frequently functions on the camera unit, dedicated switches are provided for direct 
operation.
zBy switching to the recorder mode, the camera recorder can be controlled directly through the VTR 
operation switch. In addition, recording can be disabled using a switch.
zFrequently used menus can be set by accessing the menus on the LCD panel of the unit. It is also 
possible to display the time code on the LCD panel.
zDown-converted images with characters are output from the VIDEO OUT connector. The menus can 
be operated on the main unit of the camera recorder by connecting the external monitor.
zBy switching to the scene file mode, it is possible to operate the scene file. Data of revised scene files 
can be stored on an SD memory card.

Connection
1
While the power supply of the camera 
recorder is turned off, connect the RCU 10-
pin connector of the camera recorder to the 
unit with the connection cable.
If settings are made from the camera menu, 
set the frequency to the frame frequency of 
the camera recorder and connect an NTSC 
or PAL monitor.
2After turning on the camera recorder power, 
turn the unit power on.

zThe frame frequency of the camera recorder 
must be switched before connecting the unit to 
the camera recorder.
At VIDEO output, NTSC signals are output for 
60 Hz operation, while PAL signals are output 
for 50 Hz operation.
zThe settings for FUNC on the menu determine 
whether the camera recorder’s settings, which 
are adjusted when the unit is connected, are 
returned to the settings before connecting the 
unit or to the state after adjustment, when the 
unit is disconnected from the camera recorder.
zDo not forcefully pull the connected cable. 
When the camera recorder is used while it is 
being moved, the cable must be fixed to the 
tripod or the handle of the camera recorder so 
that no force is applied directly to the 
connector.
System configuration

To determine whether the camera recorder supports the use of the unit, consult our sales dealers or the 
operation manual of the camera recorder.
