Hi,

A friend gave me a JVC GZ-S3 camera and I want to use it with my VCR.

This camera has a 10-pin connector to its power supply and VCR.
Unfortunately, I don't have any of the original units, so I cannot do
anything with the camera.

I want to homebrew a power supply or adapt one of the units I already have
and use the video signal for my existing VCR.

Does someone have some data about the GZ-S3 connector wiring?

This camera is a nice unit, with expensive optics, it was state-of-the art
back in the '80s. I hate the idea of ripping it apart for parts.

Thanks in advance

Sounds like fun.

Yes, it's in the sci.electronics FAQ which everyone should peruse
before posting here.

The particular FAQ entry will point you to:

Go to chapter 7 for Cameras.

Remember: FAQs & GOOGLE.

HTH.
