Connecting External Devices
This section explains the specifications and
features of i.LINK.
What is i.LINK?
i.LINK is a digital serial interface designed to
integrate devices equipped with i.LINK
connectors. i.LINK allows your device to:
• Perform two-way transmission and reception of
data such as digital audio and digital video
signals.
• Control other i.LINK devices.
• Easily connect multiple devices with a single
i.LINK cable.
Your i.LINK device is capable of connecting to a
wide range of digital AV devices for data transfer
and other operations.
Other advantages include the following feature.
When connected to multiple i.LINK devices,
your i.LINK device can perform data transfer and
other operations not only
with the directly connected devices but also with
any of the devices that are connected to those
devices. Therefore, you do not need to be
concerned with device connection order.
However, depending on the features and
specifications of the connected devices, you may
need to use certain functions differently, and you
may not be able to transfer data or perform certain
operations.
i.LINK, a nickname for IEEE 1394 proposed by
Sony, is a trademark supported by many
companies worldwide.
IEEE 1394 is an international standard defined by
IEEE, the Institute of Electrical and Electronics
Engineers, Inc.
Note
The camcorder can be connected to one device
with the i.LINK cable (DV cable). When you
connect with a device that has two or more
i.LINK connectors, refer to the
operating instructions supplied with the
connected device.
About data transfer speed of i.LINK
i.LINK defines a maximum data transfer speed of
approximately 100, 200 and 400 Mbps
1)
that are
described as S100, S200 and S400 respectively.
For i.LINK devices, a maximum data transfer
speed that the device supports is identified on
“Specifications” page of the operating
instructions supplied with the device or near its
i.LINK connector.
1)
When connecting with the device that support
different data transfer speed, the actual data transfer
speed may be different from those described on the
i.LINK connectors.
What is Mbps?
Mega bits per second. A measure of the rate at
which data is transmitted per second. In case of
100 Mbps, 100 Mega bits of data can be
transmitted per second.
i.LINK operation with your camcorder
For details on operation when other equipment
with i.LINK (HDV) connector is connected, see
page 143.
For details on connection with i.LINK cable and
necessary software, refer to the operating
instructions supplied with the connected device.
About the required i.LINK cable
Use the Sony 6-pin-to-4-pin or 4-pin-to-4-pin
i.LINK cable (for HDV dubbing) to connect the
i.LINK devices.
