Sony CCD-TRV65 Reveiw & Test

[@P.R.E.S.S.]

Hey my dude. LANC is "Logic Application Control Bus System". It's used to remote control the camera. It's so you can connect the camera to a controller, a VCR /w LANC to auto start/stop for recording to a VCR or to connect it to a prosumer editing controller. LANC is kind of like RS422, which is a serial port standard made for full on editing controllers and decks, but LANC is a slower, more basic standard and doesn't support timecode. If you check out wikipedia there is an article on it for more research. Keep it up. Enjoying your vids on vintage DV gear. EDIT: Lots of modern cameras have/support LANC. :)

[@brandoncameracollection]

Hey thanks for sharing that seems pretty complex and definitely seems a little outdated for today’s editing. But still cool to learn all these things about these old cameras.

[@alanvanallen7762]

Hi Brandon,I think the anti-ground setting is something to do with the camcorder switching itself off if it senses ,say,you are carrying it pointing at the ground while walking or carrying it,I have a Sony with this switch on it and had to look it up.Interesting vid,but nice to see how far we have come with the picture quality compared to today.Thanks for this.

[@brandoncameracollection]

Interesting that they would find a reason to put something like that on the camcorder 🤔 but thanks for sharing that info I’ll have to play with it and see what it does.

[@alanvanallen7762]

@@brandoncameracollection BTW the LANC is really just another way of saying 'remote control' a cable remote in other words

[@tonyh4513]

Just pulled this from my closet. My daughter says that these are making a comeback. My question is if this model was the digital model. Thanks.

[@brandoncameracollection]

No the digital models will say digital 8 on the side and it will have a FireWire port

Hey, I was wondering what fisheye lens would be compatible for the CCD-TRV65?

[@brandoncameracollection]

Yeah I’ll leave a link to one that is compatible. But any fisheye that is a 37mm will work. And if you want the super wade look for like skateboarding get one that is a 0.3x wide. And if you want the vignette look make sure to use the spacer ring it comes with. amzn.to/3Rql5BO

[@uncl_x]

would this work? the link you sent me doesn't ship to my country.

[@brandoncameracollection]

Oh ok yeah I would just search for a 37mm 0.3x opteka fisheye. I’m not sure what products would ship to you on Amazon

[@uncl_x]

[@brandoncameracollection]

Yes that definitely should work for your trv65

[@PrezSinatra]

Hey bro question what do you use to transfer videos the videos for it digitally to a laptop? I have the same one and looking to get them stored.. thanks man! I saw on one of your videos of a adapter the ion audio 2 pc hd, would that work for the trv 65?

[@brandoncameracollection]

Yes that would definitely work but I recommend the clearclick video 2digital 2.0 more. Since it records your footage to a sd card or usb drive. And you won’t have to download the drivers and stuff to your computer. And it makes it easy to digitize your footage on the go as well. Clearclick video 2 digital 2.0 converter: amzn.to/3dvznT8

[@willhampshire9881]

Why is the a static noise & can you stop that? looking at buying this camera

[@brandoncameracollection]

If I remember right I used a really old tape with this camera which made the footage look kind of crappy

[@ukfmcbradioservicingTango21]

If it isn't a worn tape, it's either a dirty video head or the video head need teplacing. On Video 8 camcorders the sound is recorded in a deeper layer by the video head. Richard, UK

[@blueki9264]

bro, if for the love of god, give it to me, i've looking for it for a year, they only have them in the US, but i live in Europe. pleae...

[@brandoncameracollection]

🤔 not sure how much it would cost but I have a few different Sony camcorders available on my eBay store. I have a trv62, 38 and soon I’ll have a trv950 up

[@imjustdonn]

how do i digitize the footage on my computer?

[@brandoncameracollection]

You need a video converter like the clearclick video 2digital 2.0 it records your footage to an sd card then you can see it on your computer. amzn.to/3KXmIDk

[@cesarpena6345]

can i jus hook a plug to the camera and extract clips with the ssd card or does this camera not do that

[@sirchanceywancey1024]

What kind of USB do u use to charge the camera

[@brandoncameracollection]

It doesn’t use USB to charge but it uses an old school Sony camcorder power supply/charger. I’ll link a couple options if you need 😊 Power supply: amzn.to/3WA500G Battery & wall charger: amzn.to/3Ae2Nk9

[@idmafromtrent4903]

Does it have an AV port for digital converters ?

[@brandoncameracollection]

It has av and s-video but no FireWire since it’s not a digital 8 only hi8

[@ITHINKTHTSDON]

Hey bro I’m having trouble finding out how to see the battery charging , it’s on the charger but I don’t think it’s charging .

[@brandoncameracollection]

Did you buy a charger from Amazon?

[@ITHINKTHTSDON]

It’s the original camera

[@ITHINKTHTSDON]

@@brandoncameracollection it’s the original charger from the box

[@ITHINKTHTSDON]

@@brandoncameracollection Nevermind bro thanks , I just had to put it on off and not vtr

[@ITHINKTHTSDON]

Actually bro it’s still not charging the battery and mins pop up , it just blinks

[@aiming2shoot]

Is there a white balance setting?

[@aiming2shoot]

Is there a way to remove the side bars from the video,?

[@brandoncameracollection]

Not really. The side bars are there because all screens now days are 16:9 aspect ratio which is rectangular. These older cameras along with like tube screen TV’s were 4:3 aspect ratio which is more square. So there are ways you can stretch the 4:3 to 16:9 but it will make everything look really short and fat and your clips will just look super weird.

[@aiming2shoot]

@brandoncameracollection thanks! Just got my trv65 delivered today, another video on KZbin says it records in 16:9 so was a bit confused

[@brandoncameracollection]

@aiming2shoot you might be able to change it in the settings

[@aiming2shoot]

@brandoncameracollection got a quick question, my camera seems in good condition but the lcd seems to give me weird colors when shooting in any condition is that normal? Colors seem blown out, outside when it was beginning to get dark the whole lcd was bright bluw

[@brandoncameracollection]

@aiming2shoot that I’m not sure. You could have a bad lcd or it could be capacitors going bad. If your able to hook it up to a tv or something you’ll be able to know if it is the screen or not

[@goatmen7996]

dame the camera looks very beat up do to bad ageing also i have a ccd trv from 1998 and the test footage is right here kzbin.info/www/bejne/mqrXYmlvq8yceNE

[@goldenretrieveroklahoma4800]

How can you hook this up to your Vizio TV to watch?

[@brandoncameracollection]

Does your TV have RCA plug-ins? (Red white and yellow?)

[@goldenretrieveroklahoma4800]

Yes but not sure how it all plugs in to get the vcr to record on to dvd
