Your line in is STEREO. IF you are using a single MONO cable, then you're
probably getting ground 'buzz'.

Try either using a STEREO cable, or converting the mono output (left) of the
camera through a wye to BOTH inputs of the Line IN on the pinnacle. This
will take some adapters.

It's also possible that you have a defective cable IF you're using STEREO,
or that the jacks have manufacturing residue and you'd need to burnish them
by inserting, rotating the cable connection several times.

Ain't audio FUN?
