JVC camcorder output connections from 1991

Solved

Hello,

To transfer my old S-VHS film (analog) to DVD (digital), I was planning to make a cable from the camcorder (8-pin circular, nothing in the center) to S-video and 2 RCA, but when I tested the original JVC cable (the famous round 8 pin to a male SCART), I'm missing a connection to pin 19 of the SCART?
Only pins 2, 4, 6, 8, 20, 15, and 13, 17 are connected; by the way, the last two are common. The 8th pin is the remote control sync for recording with JVC VCR.
Can anyone help me?

Thank you

Philiac

    Previously, it was a photo of the JVC GR-80S camcorder, and now here is the diagram of the cable made, the RCA connectors are not represented.

      Hello Philiac!
      I'm facing the same problem as you, I have a JVC VIDEOMOVIE A11 camcorder and I'm looking for a way to digitize what I film on my VHSC. Could you elaborate a bit more on your solution? So you managed to make a conversion cable from 8 pin to S Video?

        Hello,

        What do you need?
        Is the diagram not enough?

    Hello,

    I am the author of the question, and here is what I have come up with. If it can be of help to someone else, I am happy to share.
    I identified the connection of the AV output socket of the camcorder and I made a cable to convert it to S-Video + 2 RCA for audio. And it all works.

    Happy tinkering

    Copying VHS tapes or 8mm Hi8 camcorder tapes to PC
    (and possibly DV digital)
    requires an external device that supports "hardware" digital encoding
    of analog original films and a USB connection (relieving the processor) to the computer. I recommend reliable and common hardware like Dazzle and the "video DVD converter" model
    Generally, the conversion format is mpeg2 720x576 (4GB per hour) that you can use to burn a DVD compatible with all standalone players. The package includes Pinnacle "studio" editing software that you can use or not to "arrange" your videos before burning a DVD or saving the files
    there are other brands like USB keys with 4 wires, but avoid "cheap" products that lead to hassles
    I want to emphasize that the quality of the result can only be judged on a television screen due to the 4:3 aspect ratio

    Ps: for a VCR and a SCART output, you may need a SCART adapter with in-out switch and RCA connections for sound and S-video or yellow composite RCA

      Thank you for your relevant response, but I already have an ana/num conversion module; however, I need to connect 3 RCAs or 2 RCAs plus S-video, but my camcorder doesn't seem to output the chrominance because nothing is connected to pin 19 of the Scart.
      Thank you again for your contribution.

        Hello, your explanations confuse me with your numbers; you don't specify the type of camcorder you have. I assume your camcorder has an S-video output (round 5-pin jack, I believe) and a yellow RCA output (less good), plus two RCA audio outputs, generally red and white or black.

        Thank you very much Glandu for looking into my problem. And please excuse me for my confusing explanations.
        The camcorder is a JVC GR-80S from late 1991 http://pmcdn.priceminister.com/photo/979601404.jpg, it came with a cable for transfer to a VCR via a scart connector and the connector I’m talking about is the Audio/Video output of the camcorder which has 8 contacts arranged in a circle; here’s the photo
        http://www.hostingpics.net/viewer.php?id=224861IMG2015102000193.jpg
        I am looking for the pinout diagram of this connector to create a cable that would go from the camcorder output to two RCA audio connectors + one S-Video.

        Thank you.
