Hi!
I'm making electronics for the film industry, and I'm working on making cables to power camera equipment.
I've made a lot of cables, all of which I'm terminating with 4 pin XLR jacks. If you aren't familiar with those, no need to look them up, because they aren't the problem.
The problem is, I'm on my last cable that I need to modify, and it's an AC/DC adapter from the 70s. It converts 120v to 20v to run the camera. I want to be able to run the camera off of the 12v battery pack, so I got a 12v to 20v transformer for the job.
I need to connect this transformer to the camera, and this can only be done by splicing into the proprietary cable coming out of the camera. It's got a red, black, and white wire in this cable, and it's supposed to be DC.
I don't want to ruin the camera, so I don't want to experiment to see what works.
Anyone know??
thanks!
Josh
