Notes on connecting an i.LINK device

Only the Sony digital video camera port labeled DV IN/OUT or i.LINK are
i.LINK-compatible.
Do not connect more than one digital video camera at a time. The software
supplied with your computer will not recognize multiple cameras.
The i.LINK port does not supply power to external devices. If the external
device requires power from the i.LINK port, you cannot use the device with
the computer.
The computer supports transfer rates up to 400 Mbps; however, the actual
transfer rate is the lowest transfer rate of the external device.
The i.LINK features available may vary depending on the software
applications you use. See the documentation that accompanied your software
for more information.
See the manual that came with your digital video camera recorder for more
information on its installation and use.
