Hi Milton, Do you mean they should be connected to the 12v power supply?

NO!!

Do not connect any power to those wires or you could "cook" the camera or cook the inputs.

The camera gets it's power over FireWire it does not need an external source.

Just connect Pin 0 to Pin 1 on the rat tail and check mark the item I told you about in the previous e-mail.

Since PGR may change the numbering of the wires in the rat tails, check the documentation yourself!

I`ve been having dreams about doing that for some hours! If that`s the case polarity shouldn`t matter either. I`ve been connecting things like neons to 12v adaptors for years for my artworks-I don`t know why I had to go to sleep for this to occur to me. I guess the important thing is to select the right 2 wires from the rat-tail? Who`s Walter? Is this someone from the group? Mark.
