[AG-TECH] Serial Connections between Sony EVI-D30/D31 Cameras

   http://www.sony.co.jp/en/Products/ISP/pdf/commandlist/CLEVID30E.pdf  has 
a clear diagram of visca pin outs (page 17) and other control info.  There 
are a number of places that make custom cables, you will just need to give 
them the correct pin out information.
