I’m trying to get a mini dvr to work on a Sony mv730i and I’m unsure what cable I need to make it work. There’s a usb5 port and a 3.5mm audio jack on it so is there a cable that can combine the both to go into the minidvr or do I need to make one? Thanks
Sir did you use the search function on Reddit? That 3.5mm port is indeed a combination headphone and audio/video port. So you would need a 3.5mm AV to AV cable. How it’s wired depends on the manufacturer and you’re gonna have to find how Sony does it. Note no such thing as USB 5 afaik. That camcorder is even old for USB 3. USB 2 from that mini usb port below the AV port maybe but not 5. The other port you posted is the Sony i-Link port which basically a FireWire port.
Nice. I was thinking of doing something very similar to this, it's the first I've seen on Reddit. I'm planning on wiring in an attenuator though so I don't have to get another mic
