New Camera Studio System

A new camera studio system will be released in autumn 2009 to support 
low-cost studio integration. Two BNC cables allow the transmission of high-
quality HD digital images, return images, tally signals, mic signals, and 
genlock signals over a cable length of 100 meters maximum.  
An additional cable is needed to run camera power.*

 The AG-EC4G Extension Remote Control Unit, which enables full control 
over image adjustments and recording, will also be released in autumn 
2009, together with the lightweight, compact, and highly mobile 
AG-CA300G Camera Adaptor, for use with the AG-HPX300.

*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.

System Interface

The AG-HPX300 comes equipped with a wealth of interfaces.
