A multi-function 10-pin terminal marked as A/V Remote (A/V-R) or sometimes A/V or A/V Out. 3 (for 2013-2014 Sony camcorders Only).f you require compatibility with both types of connectors, there are LANC Adapter Cables available that will adapt a standard 2.5mm LANC mini-plug to the newer A/V-Remote 10-pin connector. They are available from studio1productions.com for about $29 USD (LANC Only) and $50 USD (LANC with AV output connectors).
