Transferring and editing video data
Your computer has an i.LINK port on the back which
provides very fast data transfer rates (up to 400 Mbps or 400
million bits per second). You can connect up to 63 external
devices to this port.
In addition to its high speed, it supports isochronous data—
the delivery of data at a guaranteed rate. This makes it ideal
for devices that transfer high levels of data in real-time, such
as video devices.
Like your USB ports, the i.LINK port supports hot swapping
(the ability to connect and disconnect devices while the
computer is on). The main difference between the i.LINK
port and your USB ports is that the i.LINK port supports
faster data transfer rates.
