The pin out chart is for the way we have our Sony Multiport Connector labeled. The information below came from Sony and other sources and it is accurate to the best of our knowledge. This information if for Sony camcorders and Sony cameras from 2014 to today. Please Note: The 2013 Sony Camcorders had the Multiport or Multi Terminal connection, but it may not be wired as listed below.
| Pin | Usage |
| A1 | VBUS (5 volt, max 2A) |
| A2 | USB D-1 |
| A3 | USB D+1 |
| A4 | USB ID |
| A5 | Ground |
| 1 | Power On / Off - Short to Ground to toggle between Power On or Off. |
| 2 | Ground |

| 4 | Audio Out L / Shutter Release - Shutter with direct trigger cable. Note: Audio is not supported when using a wired remote control unit |
| 5 | Audio Out R Audio / Activate Camera / Focus - Focus with direct trigger cable. Note: Audio is not supported when using a wired remote control unit |
| 6 | Select - resistor to detect the connected cable or accessory type. Resistor to Pin 2 or Pin 10 depending on accessory type or cable. Use 100K ohm Resistor. |
| 7 | UART RX / Boot Serial In - optional input for serial interface (debug) and boot loader. No Boot Loader. |
| 8 | UART TX / LANC Sig - optional output for serial LANC interface for debug / No LANC control |
| 9 | XReset Req / Input for reset request |

Not all functions may be provided by all camera/camcorder models.
You can NOT control the camera with a wired remote control while providing video/audio output using the Multi
USB terminal. You have to use the HDMI output when you are connected to a wired remote control. This is just the way Sony has
designed the multiport or multi terminal to work.
| Pin | Usage |
| 1 | Audio Out - Left Audio |
| 2 | LANC Data Signal - (Tip on 2.5mm plug) |
| 3 | Ground - (Sleeve on 2.5mm plug) / S-Video Ground (Pins 1 & 2 on S-Video Connector) |
| 4 | +5 Volts - (Ring on 2.5mm plug) |
| 5 | S-Video Chroma Signal (Pin 4 on the S-Video Connector) |
| 6 | Audio Out - Right Audio |
| 7 | LANC Select - Must connect pin 7 to 8 with 100k ohm resister |
| 8 | Ground |
| 9 | Composite Video Out |
| 10 | S-Video Luminance Signal (Pin 3 on the S-Video Connector) |
NOTE: Sony uses a LANC select signal. This tells the camera that a LANC controller is connected. You MUST connect pins 7 and 8
together using a 100k ohm resistor if you are connecting a LANC controller to the camera. Otherwise, the LANC will not be
functional.
Not all functions may be provided by all camera/camcorder models.
We do NOT sell the Sony 10 pin D Connector.
| Pin | Usage |
| 1 | LANC Data - (Tip on the 2.5mm Plug) |
