need help re: time code RS232 v. RS422 device

[Rebecca Lundwall]

I have been struggling with this for over a month and could really use some 
help in order to purchase some equipment and begin running an experiment in 
January.
 
I am looking at purchasing an RS232 time-code device and a camcorder and 
need to know a little more about the signals used. I have computer / 
video support (at the University and from a vendor), but they want me to 
get answers to a few questions before we try a mock up and then purchase 
the equipment.
 
1. Is RS232 still the way to go with E-Prime? (I see no mention of RS422 
but one video equipment expert is telling me this is more common).
 
2. Horita (one brand of time stamp device) uses Sony prototype and the 
vendor tells me that most time stamp devices will use this. He wants me to 
verify that E-Prime can accept Sony prototypes. Does anyone know or know 
how I can find out? E-Prime tech support told me they are swamped right now 
(when I asked about another issue) and this may also be an issue outside 
what they normally offer support for. (I'm also a little confused as to why 
he thinks E-Prime needs to accept the Sony prototype, so maybe someone can 
explain that to me, too??)
 
I realize I'm a newbie here, but any help would be very much appreciated.
 
Please excuse the possible cross-post at pstnet.com/forum
 
Thank you.
