- We just received a Sony LVR-3000N WORM videodisc. It has an RS-232
- port specifically intended for computer control of its functions.
- We also have the manual describing the serial protocol used to
- control it. However, before writing software to do this from scratch,
- I thought I'd ask if anyone out in Usenet-land already had software
- to control the unit, and would be willing to give it to me.
-
- The LVR-3000 is a new single-box recorder that provides most of the
- functions of the older two-box LVR-5000 (or 6000, the PAL version).
- So software to control either of the older units should be usable on
- the 3000 as well.
-
- So, if you have control software for this recorder, and are willing
- to give it to others, please send me mail.
-
- (For those who are curious, the Sony LVR family is a time-compression
- component video recorder, great for single-frame recording without
- the wear of shuttling tape back and forth. It accepts composite,
- S-video, component (Y, R-Y, B-Y) and RGB as input, generating any of
- those as output too.)
