Connecting USB Devices
Connecting a Digital Video Camera
Two types of FireWire connectors are commonly used: a 4-pin and
a6-pin. The DuoConnect adapter contains two external 6-pin connectors suitable for use with a camera. Digital video cameras use a 4-pin connector and may not include a cable. (Other peripherals typically use a 6-pin connector.)
To attach a digital video camera
1Using a standard 6-to-4 pin FireWire cable (included in the kit) plug the larger, 6-pin connector of the cable into an external FireWire port on the DuoConnect adapter.

2Plug the smaller, 4-pin connector of the FireWire cable into the FireWire port on your digital video camera.
!Caution: When inserting the FireWire 4-pin connector into the digital video camera, make sure the connector and the port are properly aligned. Otherwise, you might bend and damage the pins in the connector of the camera.
