Sony dcr-pc3 lanc to pc

Hello.

I got an old sony pc3 cam.
I'd like to use this as a "web" cam, but there seem to be some power saving turning it off whilt it's in cam mode and is'nt recording or in "use".
By some reading this seems to be done by the lanc connecton, but I'm all new to this cam stuff, but I'm able to soilder and use hyperterm etc.
as it's an own protocol I may need to buld a buffer?
any help are greatful
Best regards

The DCR-PC3 is a MiniDV camcorder right? Did you try removing the MiniDV tape? Sony digital camcorder always turns off by itself if the tape is loaded. But if there is no tape, it may not turn it off.
