Hello there, I have 2 viewfinders from old camcorders that I wanted to get
working with an external NTSC video signal.
If anyone could supply me with pinouts and/or general information, I would
be massively grateful. If not, does anyone have advice on the best way to
test them without causing breakage?
The first viewfinder is from a Sony Handycam CCD TRV22. It has four
conductors on a transparent plastic cable (Two are thicker, so I assume they
are for power, and then the other two for video and video ground). I gather
that all handycam viewfinders need PAL in. Is this true?
The other one's from a Magnavox Easycam 8 and has 5 wires going to the CRT
board. Two are power, but the other 3 (which are white, yellow and brown)
are a bit of a mystery. I assume one is for sync, one is video in, and one
is video ground.
Thanks for any help!
