I am building a pilot tone generator for use with an Eclair ACL and a Marantz PMD201 cassette recorder. Similar to this device. My goal is to have the generator place the pulse on one track (for sync) and record the sound for the production on the other track. I've found a basic schematic online, and will discuss some details with my electrician. It is necessary to have an input from the camera into the generator, for use as a double system. As well, I am wondering if the generator can be used without plugging it into the camera, using the pulse as help with wild sync. I need to find out the kind of hardware I would need to match the socket on the ACL. Does anyone know what sort of circuitry I would need to pair with the ACL? Any help would be much appreciated!
best,
