i.LINK cable (not supplied)

The Sony digital video camera recorder is pictured; you may need to connect your camera differently.

On Sony digital video cameras, connectors labeled “DV In/Out” or “i.LINK” are i.LINK- compatible.

See the manual that came with your digital video camera recorder for more information on installation and use.

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 connector on the computer does not supply power to external devices. If the external device requires power from the i.LINK connector, 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 slowest external device connected to your computer. The i.LINK features available may vary depending on the software applications you use. See the documentation that came with your software for more information.

*i.LINK is a trademark of Sony used only to designate that a product contains an IEEE1394 connector. All products with an i.LINK connector may not communicate with each other.
