Finally got around to making a custom cable for my Sony HandyCam DCR-TRV730E (2001) to connect to the DigitNow video recorder. It’s now 100% tapeless and works great, very pleased.

I’ve also included my pin outs for anyone interested.

If anyone is interested in seeing the quality of the recording let me know and I’ll upload a sample clip. #sony #handycam #yesterplay
