LANC controler of videocameras SONY

Ceska verze

In the article there is a description of distance controler of videocameras of line SONY CCD T R… In principal it should work for all the cameras equiped with LANC (JACK 2,5 mm stereo) connector by SONY, in case even with cameras of other producers equiped with a connector LANC as in 2,5 JACK version as in miniDIN. (I have developed the controler and tested only on the lowest type of CCD-TR415.)

Description:

Controler is connected to a camera with three-line cabel, through JACK 2,5mm. By this cabel there are transferred as double direction data as feeding voltage for controler electronic (equiped by uP AT89c2051). There are 7 buttons on the control and 3 LED. Buttons have colected functions and there are 23 of them when using TR 415.I do not send a design of a printed connection because of simplicity of its connection and a possibility of the own mechanical connection.

Functions:

List of supported functions:
REW, F.F., PLAY, STILL, show by steps, STOP, -x1/10, -x1/5, -x1, -x2, -x9, +x1/10, +x1/5, +x1, +x2, +x9, REC/STOP, SCREEN, -EDIT, +EDIT, FADER, -ZOOM(wide), +ZOOM(tele)

Control is switched automaticaly into CAMERA or PLAYER mode according to the present Mode of the videocamera. If connected and functioning properly, green LED is blinking in frequency 50Hz. In the mode CAMERA (REC) lights/(STOP)blinks and at the same time red LED2. Yellow LED 3 signals in function STILL mode show by steps Shuttle/Jog (Shuttle – show by steps according to a speed of pressure of the buttom STILL, Jog – show by steps, which speed you can define by programming of speed degree – see lower).

Buttons in mode PLAYER have these functions:

Buttons S_6 and S_7 have different meaning according to the present function of the camera in mode player.

Buttons in mode CAMERA has those functions:

Functions of buttons:

It is possible to change functions of separated pins according to your will. Only P1.0 is determined for communication on a collection LANC,it is recommended to let P1.1 for LED (open connector) and at P3,2 and P3,3 where interruption is used there is the only possible change in buttons S_6 and S_7.(Everything of course after a change in programme.)
