Hey my dude. LANC is "Logic Application Control Bus System". It's used to remote control the camera. It's so you can connect the camera to a controller, a VCR /w LANC to auto start/stop for recording to a VCR or to connect it to a prosumer editing controller. LANC is kind of like RS422, which is a serial port standard made for full on editing controllers and decks, but LANC is a slower, more basic standard and doesn't support timecode. If you check out wikipedia there is an article on it for more research. Keep it up. Enjoying your vids on vintage DV gear. EDIT: Lots of modern cameras have/support LANC. :)

Hey thanks for sharing that seems pretty complex and definitely seems a little outdated for today’s editing. But still cool to learn all these things about these old cameras.

Hi Brandon,I think the anti-ground setting is something to do with the camcorder switching itself off if it senses ,say,you are carrying it pointing at the ground while walking or carrying it,I have a Sony with this switch on it and had to look it up.Interesting vid,but nice to see how far we have come with the picture quality compared to today.Thanks for this.

Interesting that they would find a reason to put something like that on the camcorder 🤔 but thanks for sharing that info I’ll have to play with it and see what it does.

Hey bro question what do you use to transfer videos the videos for it digitally to a laptop? I have the same one and looking to get them stored.. thanks man! I saw on one of your videos of a adapter the ion audio 2 pc hd, would that work for the trv 65?

@brandoncameracollection Жыл бұрын

Yes that would definitely work but I recommend the clearclick video 2digital 2.0 more. Since it records your footage to a sd card or usb drive. And you won’t have to download the drivers and stuff to your computer. And it makes it easy to digitize your footage on the go as well. Clearclick video 2 digital 2.0 converter: amzn.to/3dvznT8

Hey, I was wondering what fisheye lens would be compatible for the CCD-TRV65?

@brandoncameracollection Жыл бұрын

Yeah I’ll leave a link to one that is compatible. But any fisheye that is a 37mm will work. And if you want the super wade look for like skateboarding get one that is a 0.3x wide. And if you want the vignette look make sure to use the spacer ring it comes with. amzn.to/3Rql5BO

@brandoncameracollection 9 ай бұрын

If I remember right I used a really old tape with this camera which made the footage look kind of crappy

@ukfmcbradioservicingTango21 8 ай бұрын

If it isn't a worn tape, it's either a dirty video head or the video head need teplacing. On Video 8 camcorders the sound is recorded in a deeper layer by the video head. Richard, UK

It has av and s-video but no FireWire since it’s not a digital 8 only hi8

Is there a way to remove the side bars from the video,?

@brandoncameracollection 5 ай бұрын

Not really. The side bars are there because all screens now days are 16:9 aspect ratio which is rectangular. These older cameras along with like tube screen TV’s were 4:3 aspect ratio which is more square. So there are ways you can stretch the 4:3 to 16:9 but it will make everything look really short and fat and your clips will just look super weird.

@brandoncameracollection thanks! Just got my trv65 delivered today, another video on KZfaq says it records in 16:9 so was a bit confused

@aiming2shoot that I’m not sure. You could have a bad lcd or it could be capacitors going bad. If your able to hook it up to a tv or something you’ll be able to know if it is the screen or not
