About i.LINK

i.LINK is an interface connection using a serial transfer system that transfers multimedia data, such as digital images and digital sound, between devices that have i.LINK terminals.

i.LINK is a term defined in the IEEE 1394 (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineer) standard. Currently, the transfer speeds are at 100 Mbps, 200 Mbps, and 400 Mbps, each of them expressed as S100, S200, and S400 respectively. The maximum speed for this TV is 400 Mbps.
