LANC/Remote
Compatible Camcorders
(for
Electronic AquaCam
Housings)
LANC is a wired remote
communication interface developed by the Sony
Corporation and is found primarily on Sony camcorders
and some Canon camcorders. LANC (or Remote) compatible
camcorders have one of the following two interface
connectors:
1. An older, 2.5mm mini-plug jack generally marked as
LANC, REMOTE, L, or Control-L.
2. A newer, multi-function 10-pin terminal marked as
A/V Remote (A/V R) or sometimes A/V or A/V Out.
Both interfaces are supported and available in our
Electronic AquaCam HDX Video Housings. Refer to your
camcorder user's manual for LANC/Remote
compatibility.


If you are looking at
current Sony camcorder specifications (at
SonyStyle.com or in your user's manual), look for "A/V
Remote Terminal" under Connections and/or
"Remote" in the list of Functions on that A/V
terminal. Unfortunately, Sony is not consistent in
listing the "Remote" Function under the "A/V Remote
terminal," but the designation of "Remote" in the
terminal name generally means the Remote Function is
present. Please
don't hesitate to contact us regarding your
camcorder's compatibility with the Electronic AquaCam
HDX. We are willing to determine Electronic
Compatibility for you! You can also refer to the data
and guide listing below.
Below is a guide
listing of LANC/Remote Compatible Camcorder Models
(HD/SD Digital and Analog) compiled from data gathered
off the Internet. The very latest models may not be
listed yet and the list may not show all compatible
model numbers. This listing is sorted in alpha-numeric
order and Sony camcorders are grouped by Series (i.e.
DCR and HDR series).
HD &
SD Digital Camcorders with LANC, Remote, or A/V
Remote
Some
larger camcorders are not included in the list because
they are too large for the AquaCam HDX Standard and
Custom Housings. Please contact Aquatix if you need
assistance.
Note:
Camcorders with the A/V-Remote terminal are listed
below in Blue,
and those with a 2.5mm LANC/Remote jack are listed in
Black.

Hi8 and 8mm Camcorders with LANC
jacks
Most 8mm and
older-model Hi8 camcorders manufactured by the
following will likely have a standard LANC jack:
Sony, Canon, Nikon, Ricoh, Hitachi, Yashika, Sanyo,
Olympus, Blaupunkt, Grundig, Fujix, Kyocera, Siemens,
Fisher, and possibly other makes.
Note: the most recent Hi8 camcorder models
(manufactured until a few years ago) generally do not
have a LANC jack.
You should further
verify if a particular 8mm or older-model Hi8
camcorder actually has a LANC jack (most do - some
don't).
LANC Interface
Connectors Note: Both LANC Interface connector
types are available on our AquaCam HDX Electronic
Video Housings - either a standard 2.5mm LANC plug or
a newer 10-pin A/V -Remote plug, according to your
camcorder. If you require compatibility with Both
types of connectors, there are
LANC
Adapter Cables
available that will adapt a standard 2.5mm LANC
mini-plug to the newer A/V-Remote 10-pin connector.
They are available from studio1productions.com
for about $29 USD (LANC Only) and $50 USD (LANC with
AV output connectors).
