"Headphone Jack"
Yeah, "Headphone Jack" is in quotes.
I've been doing video for 12+ years and am still learning about the trade - especially audio. Jon said (in another thread): Quote:
A grand setup for my workflow would be my Senns into a 2 or 4-port JuicedLink, then that into the 5DM2. If we can't actively monitor what the camera is hearing, does this mean we will be relegated to always using a secondary recording device for pro audio? Or is there a CHANCE that the A/V jack can indeed be re-purposed to serve as a headphone jack? I thought I read here that this isn't a possibility. Seeing the levels bounce is all fine and well, and if you have time to check every shot (or every few shots) you're golden. I'm just wondering what the potential reality of headphones coming our of our much vaunted 5DM2 is. |
We're hoping that Tramm can do exactly that - make the A/V output jack active for sound and video - without turning off the LCD!

This was from the JVC HD7 Forum on a similar subject
"Goto radioshack and buy part #274-368 called a Stereo-to-Mono audio adapter. Accepts 1/8" stereo phone plug. Fits 1/8" mono phone jack. The above is what is on the package so you can identify it. It cost like $2. Plug it into the AV port and plug your headphones into the adapter. Simpler than any of the solutions I've seen posted on the net. Basically how it works is, you know if you just plug your headphones in you get one ear of static and the other correct sound. The mono plugs just pulls out the one side of audio and ignore the static side. You will be getting mono sound instead of stereo, but for monitoring purposes I don't need stereo." There's another solution by Steve Mullen which I may be able to pass on later. Avey |

I assume it does since they put an AV lead in the box with the usual red white and yellow leads on the end.
I haven't tested it however. |

Hey Jon. I have never tested this, but before you push the record button, is there sound out through the AV jack, so at least you could pretest sound levels ? I will check it out tonight, but it could be of some help.

If we can get it all to work with the AGC off, while displaying onscreen meters, driving a headphone output and using a high-quality preamp like the CX231 for XLR mics, the 5D will really be ideal. |

I'm hoping that by turning down AGC, we'll be able to reduce the hiss, and that the crosstalk from internal circuitry won't be too bad. So far, the results with the pilot tone approach are a bit dirty. There's no telling if a proper AGC reduction will clean things up or not. We will see... |
Tramm, You're awesome!

Tramm: As you work on av out, note that I and others have detected noise interfering with mic input, when we are hooked into AV out with a monitor. A constant tone is fed back to mic line for some reason.. |

This means that my code will need to re-register the interrupt handlers and perhaps re-write the entire hotplug_task() function. Luckily it isn't too long and since I don't use video, HDMI or TOE (?) it might work just fine to disable the hot plug function. |
