Notes:
1 - Pins 3, 4, & 5 were used for various functions specific to the manufacturer (eg status indicators, serial data to control functions on the tape deck, ie not required for the basic functions of the camera).
2 - The pause line is controlled by the camera record/standby trigger.The polarity of this signal was not standard. Some cameras have a switch to select the polarity to make them compatible with more VCRs.
