Cool. I'm assuming I'm going to end up hacking this cable - the
connector manufacturer is Mogami, but I've yet to find anything retail
on either RS, or Mogani's own website (which doesn't appear to work too
well). Ho-hum...

Is this connector an 8 pin one, with a notches at...
12 o'clock (Between pin 1 and 8)
5 o'clock (Between pin 3 and 4)
7 o'clock (Between pin 5 and 6)

That sounds like the one...


Do you have a photo of the connector?

... to give you some indication of scale, the external diameter of the
ring around the pins measures 9.55mm with my digital calipers.

Thanks.

:-) I have one on my old old old Ferguson Video VHS-C camera :-)

On mine, if you look at the connector on the cable, with the biggest notch
at the top, going clockwise, assuming the pin at 1 o'clock is pin 1...

Audio + = 3
Audio - = 5
Video + = 8
Video + = 7

+ meaning the centre pin on an RCA plug, and - meaning the screen.
