Green - Video in

white - Video out

Red / orange - Audio in

 

purple & Grey - Power

 

I think any of the bare wires will function as a ground (they are generaly bundled with the corresponding colored wire)

 

Doc or anyone have a source for the 5 volt regulator. I think someone mentioned in a different thread that a cell phone is the same voltage

Okay guys this is what you have to do if you have a pro and you want no noise on your monitor.

 

From Digi-Key get yourself a Switching 5V 2Amp voltage regulator Part number 78ST205VC-ND (~$22) PDF data sheet

 

Then from VAC order up a 32-013-154-B Mini Function Block 1x4 Clamper/DC Restore Video DA $160 This is a small DA that can take 8-36 volts and it has solder pads for the video in/out and voltage in so it fit's inside the Pro's lower j-box between the two lemos and the circuit breakers.

 

Replace the 7808 voltage regulator with the one from digi-key. it wires identically to the 7808 (Pin 1 is Vin Pin 2 is ground and Pin 3 is Vout

 

On the VAC-Brick Pick up the V+ from the monitor circuit breaker. Pick up the ground from the same ground as the voltage regulator. on the Pro's video switch (Recorder/Monitor) unsolder the BOTTOM lead and then relocate that lead to the video in on the VAC Brick, Ground the video to the same ground that the Pro video system uses (I picked it up from the transmitter out Video ground. Connect one of the video outs from the DA to the BOTTOM of the toggle switch. Take output two and run it to the recorder Video in and then run a lead from DA Out #3 to the Transmitter out. Now you have all three video feeds isolated, Gain controlled and either clamped or or DC Restored. That mod alone is worth it.

 

Wire the Archos Video Pod plug to the Pro standard recorder plug.

Pin 1 Ground

Pin 2 is now 5 volts +

3 Video +

4 Video Ground

Pin 5 is Video Return which gets wired to the Yellow wire from the Archos plug

 

The Archos end is as follows:

Purple is +5 Volts Center of the DC Coax

Grey is Power Ground and the shield of the DC Coax

Dark Green is Video in

Yellow is Video Out

Blacks are grounds EXCEPT For the Small Shiny Black which is Audio Out Right channel

Brown Left Audio Out

Red Audio in Right

Orange Audio in Left

Light Green and Blue are the Trigger leads to start and stop the recorder when it's in pause.

 

If you have any question fire away

Joey,I looked for my DigiKey receipt but I can't find it. Eric has told you where to find one.Thank you Eric for that AWESOME detail! I've ordered my VAC brick and will be looking for you when my sled explodes. I know where to find you.

Also 3M makes a great epoxy that holds solid, but can be broken/removed should the need arise down the road.

 

And I totally agree with Eric, the Power Trends / TI DC-DC switching regulators are tops. I have an adjustable one in my rig and I've used them in everything from Microforce zoom controllers (to protect against the new generation cameras that seem to like 28+ volts and not regulate their acc. outputs) to LCD monitors modified with Anton/Bauer Gold mounts to... the list goes on. Well worth the ~$22, very efficient, accurate, and reliable. Just an FYI, DigiKey sells many versions of these PT/TI regulators with varying specs (current ratings, output voltages, adjustable, physical size/profile, etc.) they are a great source for this stuff.

 

Happy soldering,

Matt
