    Urgent - can anyone identify this connector?

    [IMG][/IMG]

    This is an urgent one - this connector has failed and needs to be replaced to operate a piece of equipment tomorrow. It is the black connector that we are unsure of the name of - anyone got any ideas?
    So clever my foot fell off.

    Looks a bit like mini displayport. Knowing what the cables purpose is might narrow things down (or what the equiptment is that it is to be used for). While I say mDP, it doesn't look like it has enough pins.

    Measure it and if dimensions are like this, then it is mini displayport.

    Yep - brilliant - well done chaps!

    Now, where do I get one of these connected to three phonos as in the pic, by tomorrow morning...

    What is the piece of equipment?

    The cable looks link mini display port to rgb rca, but as others have mentioned there doesn't look like enough pins on the mini display port connector.

    Actually on zooming in there aren't 20 pins on the thing we think might be a mini display port.

    It's something called a Tricaster.

    That may be a custom cable. which model is it from & which port/input/output on the chassis does it connect to?

    Do you know it's definately the multipin end that is damaged or could it be one of the phonos? They could be resoldered.

    I believe its a camcorder video cable, and you'll find that the black connector end actually fits the camera and not the streaming video device. It looks an awful lot like this Sony one, but there are quite a few similar cables.

    The good news is that if I'm right, you may able to hook up a different camera to the streaming unit and move forward with your project tomorrow. The other end is standard Y Pb Pr (component) video, a very common type.

    Yes, again thanks everyone. It did in fact turn out to be a Sony camera connector, and measures have been taken to make alternative arrangements.
