Watching a D-VHS image What is i.LINK? i.LINK is a digital serial interface for handling digital video, digital audio, and other data in two directions. i.LINK is Sony's term for the IEEE 1394 data transport bus. Digital AV equipment compatible with i.LINK can be connected using a single i.LINK cable. The i.LINK interface allows this PDP system to control one of up to two i.LINK compatible devices (in connection) that can be identified.
