Hi gang, Looking for some advice about Sony video housings I own a Sony MPK DVF5M housing. Its a grand old beast, rated to 75m, with a built in monitor in the rear half of the case. This monitor is plugged into TRV style camcoders with a 3.5mm 4 pole jack. I want to try out the possibility of HDV, and have settled on an HVR A1E since it has the requisite LANC and plug in mike sockets, and its the right size to fit in the housing. The problem is the video output socket, which is no longer 3.5mm 4 pole but is instead, it seems, Sony's own proprietary socket. I am wondering if anyone knows if there is a workaround for this. Can I rewire the monitor jack, or is there a cable available (that would be the Sony Component video jack at one end, with a female 4 pole 3.5mm socket on the other? Many thanks for any advice Dave

MASSIVE PRICE DROP ON GATES UNDERWATER HOUSING PACKAGE W/ SONY HVR V1P!! I PAID OVER $20, 000 FOR THIS KIT AND SELLING VERY CHEAP!! Everything is in Excellent condition as I service and clean all equipment regularly and comes with loads of extras. This kit is ready to go for shooting both underwater and topside. This is the perfect set up for industry professionals or any underwater videographer looking to produce high quailty HD films at an affordable price. SONY HVR-V1P: The Sony HVR-V1P offers 25p progressive scanning, in addition to 50i interlaced. In its compact, lightweight, and ergonomically designed chassis, the HVR-V1P camcorder integrates advanced technologies such as the newly developed 3 ClearVid CMOS Sensor imaging system – which is only made possible by Sony’s industry-leading semiconductor technology – and a stunning optical 20x Carl Zeiss Vario-Sonnar T*® zoom lens. Such features ensure operators can make the most of the HDV format quality with an extreme level of mobility, ease of use, and operational comfort suited for any shooting scenario. In addition to HDV 1080i recording and playback, the camcorder also offers DVCAMTM/DV recording and playback capabilities, as well as down-conversion of recordings made in HDV 1080i. These bridges between HD and SD allow the camcorder to be used in any DV-based system, whether it uses the HDV, DVCAM, or DV format. And for even greater power, the optional HVR-MRC1K CF Memory Recording Unit (INCLUDED) – which is optimized for use on the HVR-V1P camcorder – streamlines the subsequent editing and archiving processes. Adding this unit allows images captured by the camcorder to be simultaneously recorded to tape and CF. After a shoot is complete, simply remove the CF card and connect to a compatible nonlinear editing system provides quick access to files from the editing software and completely eliminates the time-consuming digitizing process. This hybrid tape and CF Card recording system offers a multitude of benefits for shooting, editing, and archiving operations. This has been customized to fit inside the underwater housing.
