VTC1 User Notes
VTC1 Connector
The VTC1 has a combination male, 9 pin, D-Subminiature plug with 2.1
mm power jack. This plug is designed to plug directly into a standard
9-pin remote connector of most hard disk based recorders and VTRs.
Power
VTC1 is a low power controller that can typically be powered from the RS-
422 port of the device. If an external power supply is needed, we recom-
mend the JLCooper PSDC117 (North America/Japan) or PSDC230 (Europe).
Alternately, you can use a power supply rated for 9-12 Volts DC at 100mA or
greater. The plug is a barrel connector. The center
pin is 2.1mm. The polarity is center positive.
Data
The pinout of the 9 pin, D-Subminiature plug follows the standard pinout
for most hard disk based recorders and VTRs.
Operation

When the VTC-1 is powered up, the unit fl ashes the record LED to iden-
tify the device that it’s plugged into.
