Thank you for purchasing the AJ-CA905G camera adapter (which will be referred to as “the unit” in these

instructions).

Installing the unit on a camera recorder and using a 26-pin multi-cable to connect the camera recorder with a

remote control unit (AJ-RC905) makes it possible to operate the camera recorder as a system camera and

broaden the range of the applications and uses of the camera recorder.

Camera recorders which support the unit:

AJ-SDC615, AJ-SDC905

To ascertain whether any other camera recorders are compatible with the unit, consult your dealer.

Precautions:

OBefore changing the position of the unit’s POWER switch (from RCU to BATT or vice versa), set the camera

recorder’s power switch to OFF.

If the unit is to be used with its POWER switch at the RCU position, be absolutely sure to set the power switch

of the remote control unit (AJ-RC905) to ON first, and then set the camera recorder’s power switch to ON.

OEven when the camera recorder’s power is turned off, the unit’s INCOM (Inter-Communication) circuit will

remain active.

OIf the unit’s power is to be turned off while a battery pack is being used as the camera recorder’s power

source, set the unit’s POWER switch to the RCU position, and then turn off the power of the remote control

unit.

In this case, however, the camera recorder’s LCD display will be cleared.

OThe microphone which is used for INCOM (Inter-Communication) is set to the “carbon type” at the factory.

Since switching to the “dynamic type” requires a change in the position of the internal switch inside the unit,

consult your dealer when putting together your system.

OThis unit can be connected to an external VTR

using a 26-pin cable for dubbing.

For details on the signals of the 26-pin cable for

dubbing, refer to page 12.

OThe power is supplied to the camera recorder and

the signals are input and output by a 26-pin multi-

cable (maximum length: 100 meters) in combination

with the remote control unit (AJ-RC905).

The amount of power which can be supplied is

subject to limitations so consult your dealer when

putting together your system.

OThe images being shot by the camera recorder can

be transmitted as analog component signals with

their high image quality intact.
