i.LINK® and HDMI™ Digital Interfaces

In 1985, the engineers of Sony® ES surprised the world of high fidelity. The Sony CDP-650ES was the world's first CD transport with a digital output, enabling unheard-of sound quality and unprecedented flexibility in audio system configuration. Now such interfaces are taken for granted in high fidelity.

In 1997, Sony staged another coup with the DCR-VX1000 Handycam® camcorder, the world's first video component to incorporate IEEE 1394, called the i.LINK® interface by Sony. Now such interfaces are found on almost every digital camcorder and millions of personal computers.

In 2003, Sony took the i.LINK interface in an entirely new direction with the SCD-XA9000ES Super Audio CD/CD player. It was Sony's first to use the i.LINK interface to carry an uncompressed digital output for the Super Audio CD's Direct Stream Digital® signal.

Today, Sony takes digital interfaces one step further. The DVP- NS9100ES is Sony's first DVD/Super Audio CD/CD1 player to incorporate the i.LINK digital audio output. While both the NS9100ES and the NS3100ES incorporate a High Definition HDMI digital output that unifies both video and multi-channel audio! These are the most advanced digital interfaces Sony has ever built into a home A/V source component.

i.LINK Digital Audio Output (NS9100ES)

From the initial launch of Super Audio CD, the 1-bit DSD® pulse train was always converted to analog prior to output. This means that previous DVD players with Super Audio CD capability could only output the SA-CD sound in analog, not digital, even if the player included coaxial and optical digital outputs.

1.i.LINK is a trademark of Sony used only to designate that product contains an IEEE 1394 connector. All products with an IEEE 1394 connector may not communicate with each other. Please refer to the documentation that comes with the device having an i.LINK connector for information on compatibility, operating conditions and proper connection.
