About i.LINK

Your camcorder is equipped with the DV
input/output connector based on i.LINK
(IEEE1394) standard.
This section explains the specifications and
features of i.LINK.
What is i.LINK?
i.LINK is a digital serial interface designed to
integrate the devices equipped with i.LINK
connector. By connecting i.LINK devices,
i.LINK allows your device to:
– Transmit and receive data such as digital
audio and digital video signals in two ways
– Control other i.LINK devices
– Easily connect with another device using just
an i.LINK cable.
Your i.LINK device is capable of connecting
AV devices and perform various operations
and data transfer. Further availability for
connections with versatile equipment and
operations will be planned in the future.
Other advantages include the following
feature. When connecting multiple i.LINK
devices, your device cannot only perform
operations and data transfer with the directly
connected device but also perform them with
any of the devices that are connected via other
devices. Therefore, you will not need to
concern the order of connecting devices.
However, depending on the features and
specifications of the connected devices, you
may need to operate certain functions
differently or may not be able to perform
certain operations or data transfer.
Note
Your camcorder can be connected to one
device with the i.LINK cable (DV cable).
When you connect with a device that has two
or more i.LINK connectors, refer to the
operating instructions supplied with the
connected device.
