i.LINK is a digital serial interface
for handling
digital video, digital audio and other
data in two directions
between
equipment

the i.LINK jack, and for controlling
other equipment.
i.LINK-compatible
equipnrent
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 equipnrent
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

only one piece of equipment
can be,connected
to this unit by the, i.LINK
cable (DV cable). When connecting

maximum
baud rate,
the baud rate sometimes
differs from the indicated
baud
