tally signal in (from VCR: switches the viewfinder and monitor headphone jack to AV in).
Now, slight problem. I don't know how the signaling is supposed to work. start/stop and rec/review
aren't simple HIGH/LOW signals, they have no voltage when hitting the reflected buttons.
- The camera also doesn't respond to a LOW or HIGH on the tally sig in, 5 nor 12V.
