      Sorry for the long absence, I’ve been overloaded with work stuff lately.

      BuckoA51, I finally soldered together some cables to connect the RGB into the AV3 of the OSSC and it worked!!! I then questioned if I even needed the OSSC at all, since my StarTech capture card has a VGA-in port. But a direct connection to the capture card resulted in choppy video, so I will be sticking with the OSSC after all.

      Thank you Harrumph as well for offering your help through my struggles. If anyone else ever wants to record RGB video from their 1980s Sony DXC-M3A camera, now we know how to do it.

        I just ordered a VGA male connector—I’ll report back once I’m able to solder the pins and test it out

          The seller told me the cable is passive. I also took off the SCART cover to check the connections myself, and it looks okay to me: https://colorsplash.co.uk/OSSC/RGB_cable.jpg

          Apologies for the confusion on the region—I found the service manual online, and it must be for the PAL version of the camera. When I plugged a composite video cable straight into the camera, my capture card read the signal as 29.97 FPS, so that confirms I have an NTSC camera. https://colorsplash.co.uk/OSSC/composite_feed.jpg

          But isn’t it strange that the OSSC initially recognizes the signal as 240p when it is a higher resolution?

          Also, the table references the pins on the cable coming from the camera, but the sync output on the control unit could be something else…

            Sorry about that! The domain was blocking non-US IP addresses. Do the links work now?
