I have a Sony TR series camcorder which I would like to use for frame by frame recording from a computer monitor. It seems to photograph the monitor fine if I use AC power (I guess both devices sync to the line). But my remote control (the only one available to my knowledge) plugs into a jack on the front and allows either remote control (on/off from a distance) or interval recording (say 1 sec every minute). But I can't get what I need which is 1 sec every time I have a frame ready. Can anybody tell me: a) does some other source make a controller allowing to turn on for a set time (say 1 sec) at any desired time, or, b) does anybody know how the from control jack on the TR series is wired. If it is a simple continuity system I could make a little circuit to do what I need, but I am afraid to experiment with my costly camera.... Thanks in advance. Post or email for reply.... -- Martin Connors | Space Research | martin@space.ualberta.ca (403) 492-2526 University of Alberta |
