Solved...for now! Both of you gave me the clues to look for. The M3A is a different animal. It is an improved version of the M3, mostly with a better back-end connector assembly and controls. I suspect the innards are mostly the same. The CCU seems to be good for both M3 versions, Doug, the CCU manual was silent on the RGB connections but is saved here. Thanks. And ARC's mention of switches is absent on my cam or CCU. So, I went to the M3AP camera manual and there it was with no mention of switch positions. I found the 14-pin connector pinout page and found two tables. One cable type is for a VTR connection and another for a CCU connection, not mentioned in the CCU manual. The short VTR cable I have uses the RGB pins for data and alarm connections from the VTR. RGB is only available on the long form CCU only cable. 10m or more. My error with the wrong cabIe. I don't think I have done any damage but now the hunt for the CCU cable begins. And if anyone has one around...
