7pin>coax(male) for the female 7pin on the back of the sbm1.

OR

hack the attached 7pin output cable and put a coax connector on it.

you need a 7 pin i/o cable.  like the oade cable for sale in the yard sale, or the prodigital one i have for sale.  plug in the 7pin in the bottom of your sbm1 and connect the "out" cable to the "spdif in" cable of the vxpocket dongle.  all you'll get is 16 bit though.

Hack the 7 pin head off, and make a passive 7-pin cable with it.
then mod the hacked end on the sbm to a male coax.

i am in the same boat

i was looking at a pro-digital active 7-pin cable to go out from the sbm-1's alternate 7-pin interface, and connected to s/pdif in on the vxpocket.

i guess you could have the sbm-1's pigtail modded for a standard coax output...there are instructions in the archive section...read the entire thread cause i think todd r explains that the direction provided are inaccurate

Thanks, & +t all around. Except you Joe, I owe you 1 in 12 hours.

The SBM is borrowed, and primarily for use by the owner in a stealth rig going into an M1, so I don't think he wants me to hack off the end. The 7 pin solution will do nicely.  ;D

Thanks again.

Actually, one more question: do I need an active cable? Or will a passive one work? Doesn't the vx pocket dongle have a digi in & out? And if so why would I need the i/o cable?

it would only have to be passive

you wouldnt need an in and out cable, an output 4the sbm1 would work, but none that are for sale here used are that

fwiw:
the vx pockets digi out doesnt work while going digi in, it does not pass signal while recording

"you wouldnt need an in and out cable, an output 4the sbm1 would work, but none that are for sale here used are that"

not too sure what you're saying here ???  i've never seen a 7 pin cable ( not an i/o type ) where the signal goes out away from the 7pin, hence the need for what is usually termed a i/o cable.  the typical sony 7pin/coax ( orange coax ) goes from coax to 7pin, not the other way around.  i suppose one could modify one of those cables to go from 7pin to coax.  anyway--you'll need to use a 7pin i/o cable--passive or active.  and the vxpocket dongle has two spdif digital cables--one for in and one for out.

Todd built me a 7pin output only cable for my modsbm-1 but I've never seen any others.

i thought about modding mine for transfers before i got my prodigital i/o.

i totally get what your saying, i was mixed up thinking the input only cable was an output cable for some strange reason
