Connecting a Digital Video Camera
Two types of FireWire connectors are commonly used: a 4-pin and
a 6-pin. The DuoConnect adapter contains two external 6-pin
connectors suitable for use with a camera. Digital video cameras
use a 4-pin connector and may not include a cable. (Other
peripherals typically use a 6-pin connector.)
To attach a digital video camera
1
Using a standard 6-to-4 pin FireWire cable (included in the kit)
plug the larger, 6-pin connector of the cable into an external
FireWire port on the DuoConnect adapter.
2
Plug the smaller, 4-pin connector of the FireWire cable into the
FireWire port on your digital video camera.
Caution:
When inserting the FireWire 4-pin connector into the
digital video camera, make sure the connector and the port
are properly aligned. Otherwise, you might bend and damage
the pins in the connector of the camera.
