About i.LINK The i.LINK (MICROMV) jack on this unit is an i.LINK-compliant MICROMV jack. This section describes the i.LINK standard and its features. What is i.LINK? i.LINK is a digital serial interface for handling digital video, digital audio and other data in two directions between equipment having i.LINK jacks, and for controlling other equipment. i.LINK-compatible equipment can be connected by a single i.LINK cable. Possible applications are operations and data transactions with various digital AV equipment. When two or more i.LINK-compatible devices are connected to this unit in a daisy chain, operations and data transactions are possible with not only the equipment that this unit is connected to but also with other devices via the directly connected equipment. Note, however, that the method of operation sometimes varies according to the characteristics and specifications of the equipment to be connected, and that operations and data transactions are sometimes not possible on some connected equipment. Note Normally, only one piece of equipment can be connected to this unit using the i.LINK cable. When connecting this unit to MICROMV-compatible equipment having two or more i.LINK jacks, refer to the instruction manual of the equipment to be connected. About the Name "i.LINK" i.LINK is a more familiar term for the IEEE 1394 data transport bus proposed by SONY, and is a trademark approved by many corporations. IEEE 1394 is an international standard standardized by the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers. i.LINK Baud rate The maximum baud rate of the camcorder is "S400." i.LINK's maximum baud rate varies according to the equipment. Three maximum baud rates are defined: S100 (approx. 100 Mbps*) S200 (approx. 200 Mbps) S400 (approx. 400 Mbps) The baud rate is listed under "Specifications" in the instruction manual of each piece of equipment. It is also indicated near the i.LINK jack on some equipment. The maximum baud rate of equipment, except for this unit, on which it is not indicated is "S100." When units are connected to equipment having a different maximum baud rate, the baud rate sometimes differs from the indicated baud rate. *What is Mbps? Mbps stands for megabits per second, or the amount of data that can be sent or received in one second. For example, a baud rate of 100 Mbps means that 100 megabits of data can be sent in one second. 176
