- Panasonic sells a PC Machine Control Interface Adaptor (IFP-232CJ)
- that lists for only $300 (street price $230?). It is designed to
- work with Panasonic's AG-7000 and AG-6000 series using the 34-pin
- protocol. These are industrial grade machines, not consummer level
- so they are not cheap, but less than $5,000 for the S-VHS AG-7750
- editor/player.
-
- I have not had a chance to use the IFP-232CJ but I would be interested
- in hearing if anyone has used one. It is suppose to come with
- software and basic source code in addition to cables.
-
- Thanks.
