Powering
up your ACC PixController LE
Board
When applying power to your ACC Terminal configured Universal
board you must follow these steps:
1. Start with both the camera off and the LE board off.
2. Plug the 2.5mm cable in between the camcorders ACC
Terminal port and the LE
boards camera port.
3. Power on the camera.
4. Power on the Universal board.
After these steps have been followed correctly you should see the
camera power down after about 5 seconds of applying power to the
Universal board. If you get a series of 5 blinks on the red LED
this means the Universal board cannot "see" the camera.
If you see a blinking green LED this means you powered up/down the
ACC Terminal
board too quickly. Please power down the camera and LE board, and
unplug the 2.5mm cable, wait for 30-60 seconds, then follow steps
1-4.

What
is an ACC Port?
The ACC Terminal
port was developed by Sony as a remote control protocol for the
higher end models of their digital cameras. ACC
Terminal connectors are usually 2.5mm mini plugs - about the size
of a Walkman headphone.
