VK3RTV, ATV & Technical Data

On older style video camera's there are 2 main types of connectors. There is a 10 pin and a 14 pin connector. The connections given below came from the service manuals for a NATIONAL WVP-50N ( for the 10 pin ) and a SONY HVC3000C ( for the 14 pin ). There are apparently some minor differences in pin outs for different brands of cameras so beware!!!
