What
is i.LINK?
i.LINK is a digital serial interface
for handling
digital video, digital audio and other
data in two directions
between
equipment
having the i.LINK jack, and for controlling
other equipment.
i.LINK-compatible
equipment
can be connected
by a single i.LINK cable. Possible
applications
are operations
and data transactions
with various
digital AV equipment.
When two or more i.LINK-compatible
equipment
are connected
to this unit in a daisy
chain, operations
and data transactions
are possible with not only the equipment
that
this unit is connected
to but also with other devices via the directly
connected
equipment.
Note, however,
that the method
of operation
sometimes
varies according
to the
characteristics
and specifications
of the equipment
to be connected,
and that operations
and data transactions
are sometimes
not possible on some connected
equipment.
Note
Normally,
only one piece of equipment
can be connected
to this unit by the i.LINK
cable (DV connecting
cable). When connecting
this unit to i.LINK-compatible
equipment
having two or more i.LINK jacks (DV jacks), refer to the operating
instructions
of the equipment
to be connected.
i.LINK is a more familiar
term for IEEE 1394 data transport
bus proposed
by SONY,
and is a trademark
approved
by many corporations.
IEEE 1394 is an international
standard
standardized
by the Institute
of Electrical
