Hi,

A friend gave me a JVC GZ-S3 camera and I want to use it for ATV.

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 it.

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

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 away for parts.

I have a JVC GX-S9U camera that has a 10 pin connector. The wiring for
it is:

1 - video
2 - video shield
3 - ????
4 - ground (possibly for the remote control or the channel 2 audio shield)
5 - channel 2 (right) audio (camera has a jack for a second mike)
6 - remote control (pause)
7 - channel 1 (left) audio (built-in mike)
8 - audio shield
9 - ground (for +12 volts)
10 - +12 volts

I would expect yours to be wired the same but you never know.
Measure between pins 4 and 9 to see if they are shorted together.
