View-screen question
I'm pretty new to cameras and the technology that they use, I have knowledge of wiring and utilizing diagrams and was looking for a simple yes, or no answer.
Does a camcorder view screen follow the same concept as a television? I'm going to embark on a project, the goal is wiring a basic web cam into a camcorder view screen.
So my question is, "Is it possible to wire a capturing device directly into the view screen from a camcorder (with the correct conversion).

Re: View-screen question
Possible, yes, simple, no, direct wiring without conversion, no.

Re: View-screen question
Thank you very much sir, I have a bit of experience with wiring electronics from my time in the Army and feel that I could accomplish this, i just wanted to run the idea by those who are more familiar with cameras and technology.

Re: View-screen question
The problem is getting the information for the view screen so you can drive the screen. Some will take video but others need a digital data stream. It is doable but it may not be 1) cost effective or 2) will take to long.

Re: View-screen question
Well time won't be an issue, Freygr, I'll have to look into the whole "digital data stream" concept. Basicly what I plan on doing it attaching a small camera to the end of a toy gun, and having a slim view screen attached to my helmet that I can flip down and view around corners. I'll search around for slim cameras that I can take apart and remove all the 'fluff', re-wire it to my liking.
