with various
digital AV equipment.
When two or more i.LINK compatible
equipment
are connected
to this trait in a daisy
chain, operations
and data transactions
are possible
with not only the equipment
that
this trait 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 possihle
on some connected
