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
1While 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.
<Notes>
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
<Note>
To determine whether the camera recorder supports the use of the unit, consult our sales dealers or the
operation manual of the camera recorder.

moved when inhibited, the volume level change
will be reflected immediately after turning on the
lamp of the PANEL ACTIVE button and/or the VR
ACTICE button by pressing the button again.
<Note>
It is possible for the GAIN and the BLACK to
avoid changes in the volume position during the
inhibition by setting the volume mode on the unit

Basic operation (Continued)
Operation of the camera using the unit volume
When the lamp of the PANEL ACTIVE button is
on, operations of the M.PED volume and the
IRIS volume are enabled. When the lamp of the
AUTO IRIS button is on, the IRIS volume
functions as the volume for setting the target
value of the auto iris. When the lamp of the VR
ACTIVE button is on, operations of the GAIN
volume and the BLACK volume are enabled.
In the unit menu, it is possible to select whether
the GAIN volume and the BLACK volume are
operated in the absolute value mode or the
relative value mode.
<Notes>
zIn the relative value mode, the value will not
change when the volume operation is enabled,
but it will change by the amount that the
volume turned from the position when the
volume operation was enabled.
In the absolute value mode, the value will be
fixed according to the position of the volume
when the volume operation was enabled, and
the value for the center click is 0.
zA variable range for the volume can be
selected as follows.
However, the GAIN setting range covers
variations within
n 200, and the BLACK setting
range covers variations within
n 100,
respectively.
1) GAIN volume
When the white balance is set using the PRE/
A/B button and the auto white balance (AWB)
executes, the lamp of the VR ACTIVE button
turns off, and the volume operation is
disabled.
When executing the AWB, the GAIN set value
will be “0” if the AWB OFFSET is set to OFF,
while the GAIN set value is retained if the
AWB OFFSET is set to ON.
When the relative value mode and the
absolute value mode are switched, the lamp
of the VR ACTIVE button turns off and the
volume operation is disabled. (The GAIN
value is unchanged.)
2) BLACK volume
This functions as an adjustment volume for
the flare (FLR) or the pedestal (PED) selected
in the BLACK-VR-CONTROL on the unit
menu.
If the auto black balance (ABB) is executed
while the pedestal is selected, the lamp of the
VR ACTIVE button turns off, and the volume
operation is disabled.
In this case, if the PEDESTAL OFFSET of the
camera recorder is set to OFF, the set value
will be cleared to 0.
When the BLACK-VR-CONTROL item in the
unit menu changes, the lamp of the VR
ACTIVE button turns off, and the volume
operation is disabled.
If the BLACK-VR-CONTROL is set to “PED”,
the flare value can be changed in the unit
menu but it is impossible to change the
pedestal value.

3) M.PED volume
When the volume operation is enabled, the
unit operates in the absolute value mode
where the value is fixed in accordance with
the position of the volume. The value will be

The variable amount is within a range
between the minimum value of –200 and the
maximum value of +200 with the center value
of 0.
Operation of the scene file
The unit has five sets of scene files and is
capable to storing the current settings as a scene
file or loading the stored settings.
It is also possible to store/call scene files using
the SD memory card. For details, refer to
