rf-out

Mike pondered....





What's all this talk about adding an RF-out jack to a PXL-2000 that I've

been reading on this list lately?  The PXL-2000 I had in 1989/90 had an

RCA jack already in it that would put out a video signal that I could

feed directly into the back of my VCR.  That's how I made so many of my

PXL recordings with my VCR instead of on cassette tapes.  I think the 

sound came out with the video from the same jack or something.  It's

been

a long time and my memory is sketchy on just exactly how I did it, but I

distinctly remember a female RCA jack on the back end of it just above

the handle - or at least that's where I think it was located.  Just what

are these modifications mentioned on this list for that that jack can't

do?   "



End quoted material



The female (not jack) that is on the handle of the pxl outputs to the

game transformer thingey that then lets you attach yet another radio

shack attachment for COAX so you can run a bulky, unwieldy coax cable to

your vcr.



The mod that is being talked about lets you run a lengthy, supple patch

cord directly from your pxl to the vcr. And more importantly from your

pxl to another source like an 8mm camcoreder (camcorders don't have coax

in ).



This allows you to forget abour the the audio cassttes as your medium.

You use another mike for real time sound when you are using the

camcorder as a recorder.



Some of you have already seen this. This is a web page I made that shows

off my remote recording set up with the pxl. Using the historic setting

of Bronson Canyon (the Batcave)

This page goes into the details of the kind of modification being talked

about. (most of you are already familiar with this page as well, just

helping out new blods)
