9 Pin DB9 RGB to MiniDIN S-Video Question... HELP!!!

Hello folks,

I have 2 cameras: a Sony XC-003 AND a Panasonic WV-E550. Both these cameras have a DB9 RGB-Sync connector (identical to a regular PC DB9 serial connector) on the back. Both cameras can be configured to output RGB or Sync (Y/C) signals from this connector.

Pin layout is as follows:

Sony XC-003:

1 - VBS output (ground)
2 - RGB output (ground)
3 - R output
4 - G output
5 - B output
6 - VBS/Y output
7 - SYNC output (signal)
8 - SYNC output (ground)
9 - -/C output


Panasonic WV-E550:

1 - GND
2 - GND
3 - R/PR/C
4 - G/Y/Y
5 - B/PB/NC
6 - SY/COMP
7 - SYNC
8 - GND
9 - C/NC


It seems to me the connectors on both these cameras are configured exactly the same (an industry standard?). Anyhow, I was wondering if I can output a regular S-Video signal from these connectors. If so, how would I have to wire the DB9 to 4 pin MiniDIN S-Video?


S-Video pinout:

1 - GND
2 - GND
3 - Y
4 - C

I know this can be done; I saw a posting one time on the internet, but I don't remember where.

Any input appreciated!

Thanks!
