Bambi Posted October 25, 2007 Share Posted October 25, 2007 What does this plug into? It's on my mini-dvd camcorder I think it's a firewire but I have no idea Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Agozer Posted October 25, 2007 Share Posted October 25, 2007 AFAIK, Firewire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ken_cinder Posted October 25, 2007 Share Posted October 25, 2007 If it is firewire, it's a proprietary connection into the camera because a standard 4-pin IEE1394 connector, doesn't have that edge protrusion outwards, but rather inwards.

Bambi Posted October 26, 2007 Author Share Posted October 26, 2007 The manual doesn't even say what it isOk, If it is firewire is there anyway too hook it up too my pc to record? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ken_cinder Posted October 26, 2007 Share Posted October 26, 2007 By the looks of it, only with the cable the camera came with. You give to me model number, and I give to you instruction manual, or at least enough information. To be honest, that actually looks more like mini-USB to me than firewire.

ken_cinder Posted October 26, 2007 Share Posted October 26, 2007 It is indeed Firewire, but the connector doesn't look standard fare (Good luck finding a service manual or anything on Hitachi's site, the only thing I could find for your model was a listing of accessories that also apply to other models). I'd take it to any computer store, and have them see if it takes your standard 4-pin Firewire cable, could just be the picture making it appear that way. If it does, and you don't have Firewire on your PC, you can get a PCI Firewire card very cheap on Ebay or anywhere really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll take it in on Saturday then, I've never seen a firewire in person before so I don't know what they look like Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
