Connecting an i.LINK-compatible Device

You can connect an i.LINK-compatible device such as a digital video camera recorder to the S400 connector. You can then download digital pictures from the i.LINK-compatible digital video camera recorder.

Digital video camera recorder

to S400

i.LINK cable (not supplied)

✍The Sony digital video camera recorder is pictured; you may need to connect your camera differently.

On Sony digital video cameras, connectors labeled “DV In/Out” or “i.LINK” are i.LINK-compatible.

See the manual that came with your i.LINK-compatible device for more information on installation and use.

Do not connect more than one digital video camera at a time. The software supplied with your computer will not recognize multiple cameras.

The i.LINK connector on the computer does not supply power to external devices. If the external device requires power from the i.LINK connector, you cannot use the device with the computer.

The computer supports transfer rates up to 400 Mbps; however, the actual transfer rate depends on the external device.

The i.LINK features available may vary depending on the software applications you use. See the documentation that came with your software for more information.

The connections and features may vary depending on the i.LINK-compatible devices. See “i.LINK cables” on page 39 and Connecting an i.LINK-compatible Device, above, for more information on cables and connections.

You can connect the digital video camera recorder either to your notebook or to the optional i.LINK port replicator. When you connect the digital video camera recorder to your computer or an i.LINK port replicator, do not connect anything to the other i.LINK connector.
