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....
