FCC Note:
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules.
To assure continued compliance follow the attached
installation instructions and do not make any
unauthorized modifications.
This equipment has been tested and found to comply
with the limits for a class A digital device, pursuant to
Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to
provide reasonable protection against harmful
interference when the equipment is operated in a
commercial environment. This equipment generates,
uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if
not installed and used in accordance with the
instruction manual, may cause harmful interference to
radio communications. Operation of this equipment in a
residential area is likely to cause harmful interference
in which case the user will be required to correct the
interference at his own expense.
CAUTION:
Do not install or place this unit in a bookcase,
built-in cabinet or any other confined space in
order to maintain adequate ventilation.
Ensure that curtains and any other materials
do not obstruct the ventilation to prevent risk
of electric shock or fire hazard due to
overheating.
$
THIS APPARATUS MUST BE EARTHED
To ensure safe operation the three-pin plug must be
inserted only into a standard three-pin power point
which is effectively earthed through the normal household wiring.
Extension cords used with the equipment must be
three-core and be correctly wired to provide
connection to earth. Wrongly wired extension cords
are a major cause of fatalities.
The fact that the equipment operates satisfactorily
does not imply that the power point is earthed and that
the installation is completely safe. For your safety, if in
any doubt about the effective earthing of the power
point, consult a qualified electrician.

The AJ-HDP151P is a codec (encoder/decoder) unit
which is used in combination with an HD/SD multiformat DVCPRO server (AJ-HDR150) to record and
play back DVCPRO HD (high definition) format
signals. Switching between the encoder and decoder
is accomplished by means of setup menu operations.
HD signals can be recorded and played back in the
AJ-HDR150 by fitting the optional SDTI circuit board
(AJ-YAC7000P) and connecting with the unit.
This unit can convert the decoded HD signal system
into an SD (standard definition) signal system by
installing the optional HD-SD format converter board
(AJ-UDC150P) in this unit.
