About i.LINK

The

DV IN

jack on this recorder is i.LINK-

compliant for digital video cameras. 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 the i.LINK jack, 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 equipment are connected to this

recorder in a daisy chain, operations and data

transactions are possible with not only the

equipment that this recorder 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 recorder by the i.LINK cable (DV

connecting cable). When connecting this recorder

to i.LINK-compatible equipment having two or

more i.LINK jacks (DV jacks), see the instruction

manual of the equipment to be connected.

i.LINK is a more familiar term for 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.
