Understanding Digital Interfaces

The DCIC is the connection point for digital equipment such as USB cameras, camcorders, and other devices. The DCIC is made up of two Universal Serial Bus (USB) connectors and one IEEE-1394 connector (designed to support rapid transfer of audio and video signals). The connectors are located on the front of the computer, as shown below.
