PDW700 5pin Male to 2 x 3pin Female cable at DVinfo.net

In the manual this cable is listed as part of the included accessories, but we didn't receive one with our camera--is this normal?

Thanks,

Jim

5 pin male to 2 x 3 pin female is what is required.

Nope, it is the other way around. If you want to send the audio out of the camera to two separate XLR cables, the Y-adaptor listed above is the correct one to get. Also, note the audio is line level OUT.

But I want to get audio into the camera--CH3/4 which is a 5 pin female xlr and needs to be 3 pin female to accept mic/line inputs.

There is no 5-pin female audio input on the camera. The only 5-pin (male) on the camera is for line anallog audio-out 2-channel only. You can feed audio to CH 3 or 4 by using the 2 XLR audio inputs on the back of the camera as long as your audio channels assignment switches on the side of the camera properly select CH3/4. These two audio inputs can operate in either analog mode (2 channels only, 1 audio channel per XLR) or AES/EBU (total of 4 channels, 2 on each XLR input).

On the front you'll have a 5-pin female connector that normally is used for the camera microphone.

You are right but this is a mic level only 2-CH input. I just kept looking at the camera's usual I/Os. Would make sense to use this input for 4CH production if you can cope whith the mic level.

Thanks for your contribution.
