About the “InfoLITHIUM” battery pack (Continued)

About battery life

•The battery life is limited. Battery capacity drops little by little as you use it more and more, and as time passes. When the available battery time is shortened considerably, a probable cause is that the battery pack has reached the end of its life. Please buy a new battery pack.

•The battery life varies depending on how it is stored and the operating conditions and environment for each battery pack.

About i.LINK

The HDV/DV Interface (i.LINK) jack on this unit is an i.LINK-compliant Interface. This section describes the i.LINK standard and its features.

What is i.LINK?

i.LINK is a digital serial interface for transferring digital video, digital audio, and other data to other i.LINK-compatible devices. You can also control other devices using the i.LINK. i.LINK-compatible devices can be connected using an i.LINK cable (optional). Possible applications are operations and data transactions with various digital AV devices.

When two or more i.LINK-compatible devices are connected to this unit in a daisy chain, operations and data transactions are possible with not only the device that this unit is connected to but also with other devices via the directly connected device. Note, however, that the method of operation sometimes varies according to the characteristics and specifications of the device to be connected. Also, operations and data transactions may not be possible on some connected devices.

•Normally, only one device can be connected to this unit with the i.LINK cable (optional). When connecting this unit to an HDV/DV-compatible device having two or more DVCAM (DV) Interfaces, refer to the operating instructions of the device to be connected.

•i.LINK is a more familiar term for the IEEE 1394 data transport bus proposed by Sony, and is a trademark approved by many corporations.

•IEEE 1394 is an international standard standardized by the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers.

About the i.LINK Baud rate

i.LINK’s maximum baud rate varies according to the device. There are three types.

S100 (approx. 100Mbps*)

S200 (approx. 200Mbps)

S400 (approx. 400Mbps)
