This section explains the specifications and features of i.LINK.
What is i.LINK?i.LINK is a digital serial interface designed to integrate devices equipped with i.LINK connectors. i.LINK allows your device to:
•Perform
•Control other i.LINK devices.
•Easily connect multiple devices with a single i.LINK cable.
Your i.LINK device is capable of connecting to a wide range of digital AV devices for data transfer and other operations.
Other advantages include the following feature. When connected to multiple i.LINK devices, your i.LINK device can perform data transfer and other operations not only with the directly connected devices but also with any of the devices that are connected to those devices. Therefore, you do not need to be concerned with device connection order. However, depending on the features and specifications of the connected devices, you may need to use certain functions differently, and you may not be able to transfer data or perform certain operations.
i.LINK, a nickname for IEEE 1394 proposed by Sony, is a trademark supported by many companies worldwide. IEEE 1394 is an international standard defined by IEEE, the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, Inc.
Note
The camcorder can be connected to one device with the i.LINK cable (DV cable). When you connect with a device that has two or more i.LINK connectors, refer to the operating instructions supplied with the connected device.
About data transfer speed of i.LINKi.LINK defines a maximum data transfer speed of approximately 100, 200 and 400 Mbps1) that are described as S100, S200 and S400 respectively.
For i.LINK devices, a maximum data transfer speed that the device supports is identified on “Specifications” page of the operating instructions supplied with the device or near its i.LINK connector.
When connecting with the device that support different data transfer speed, the actual data transfer speed may be different from those described on the i.LINK connectors.
