>The 5pin plug is only used for the Panasonic M type protocall to controll the
deck. VITC is a form of time code that resides in the vertical interval section
of the video signal. Unfortunatly you cant send VITC information through the 5
pin conector.<
Well, ain't that *just* like Panasonic… <g>

Hi Tim,
>> Well, ain't that *just* like Panasonic… <g> <<
Well to be truthfull it is not just Panisonic that has such limitations.
Any prosumer edit controll protocall ( weather it is Panisonic 5-pin, Sony LANC
etc…) will only carry so much information. If you want to send timecode and
all that other fancy jazz your best bet is to go to a RS-422 plug. But there is
also quite a few diferent protocalls for RS-422, what we realy need is some
standarization for edit control. But of course if the manufaturers did that
then we all might run a Panisonic with a Sony and throw in a JVC, and then the
rotation of the earth would slow down, effecting the orbit around the sun , and
we would wind up in an ever increasing plung twords the sun and total
extinction. Hey maybe thats what happened to the Dinosaurs????? didn't anybody
tell that stupid Tyranosaurs not to plug an 822 into a MX-50 :-))))

YOU laugh–to hear Panasonic Tech Support tell it, that's *just* what would
happen! (Or at least, their profits would go down 1/10 of a percent, and the
home office would send in the Ninja to waste the entire American operation…)
😉
Now THERE's a new Steven Segal movie–PANASONIC NINJA! See him use his
*nunchucka* S-Video cords! Watch him waste a roomful of clueless consumers
armed w/only an AG-1970 manual! Thrill to him delivering dialogue w/all the
animation of a digital answering machine!
Oh, Jeez–craziness, craziness… <g>
