[comp.sys.mac.hardware] Controlling a VTR

pa1006@sdcc13.ucsd.edu (Mr. Moss) (01/20/90)

I am trying to control a high end Sony VTR (Video Tape Recorder)
thru my Mac. 
Unfortunately I don't have the programming experience to get around
one problem.

The Mac serial ports are using RS-232 protocol and the Sony ports
are using RS-422 protocol. 


Is there a way for me to convert my signal thru software?
Is there a cheap way for me to convert is thru hardware?

Any help or comments would be appreciated.

Please reply via mail and I will summarize on the net.
