Title: OLD 8-pin "TV" connector on old pro video equipment
Post by: agentrob95 on May 21, 2018, 02:43:28 am

Looking for some information on this, and my google-fu is failing me right now

The old 8-pin connector, usually labeled "TV" on old professional VCRs and reel-to-reel VTRs

Don't have a need, but I've seen it in a lot of review videos, and was wondering if anyone had a pinout or any information on it, just out of curiosity

I think they were known as an EIA-J connector.
