Notes for pinouts sets:

N1. A 1970s B&W Panasonic WV-85, and many others, used this wiring.  Although there's plenty of other variations. 

N1.-N4.: The microphone is usually amplified, but still at the usual microphone levels.  VTR playback re-uses pin 1, with a few volts DC on top (as a mode switching signal).

This pinout, with option N1 works for the Canon VS-30.  The pinouts are for the MALE end of the cable that is permanently installed in the camcorder.

Note for CCJ cable: All shields are isolated from each other, other than the two that join on pin 4.  There may be a shield around all the wiring in the cable, this may be joined to the pin 9 ground. 

Some device-specific pinouts:

Panasonic WV-341N B&W camera wiring, 1970s vintage

  1. Camera video
  2. Shield for pin 1
  3. Vertical sync
  4. Shield for pins 3 and 5

  6. Tally lamp
  7. Intercom audio (tip)
  8. Intercom audio (ring)
  9. Line view video
  10. Tally lamp

Two 24 volt tally lamps are directly wired across pins 6 & 10, the top and rear tally lamps, in parallel.  The intercom line is wired directly to the tip and ring of the ¼ inch TRS jack, with a 3 volt (if I recall correctly) baristor from tip to sleeve.  The intercom is totally isolated from the rest of the camera, ground, and the chassis.  The intercom headset has a 35Ω carbon mike between tip and sleeve, and a 160Ω earpiece between ring and sleeve.  The camera is separately mains powered.
