The DV Interf:_ce on this unit is att i.LINKcompliant DV htterface.

This section describes the i.LINK standard and its features.

What is i.LINK?

i.LINK is a digital serial itlterfm.'e %r translcrring digital video, digital audio, aud other data to other i.LINK<ompatible devices. You catt also control other devices using the i.LINK.

i.LlNK-compatible devices can be cotntected usittg att i.LINK cable. Possible applications are operations attd data transactions with various digital AV devices.

When two or more i.LlNK-compatible devices are daisy-chained with the unit.

operation becomes possible from atty device in the chaitt. Note that operation method may vary, or data transactions may not be possible, dependittg ott specifications and characteristics of the connected devices.

• Nornlally, only one device can be connected to lhis unil with all i.LINK cable. When connecting this unit to an i.LINK-compalible device having two or morn DV lntcrfi,ces, mlcr to tile operating instructions of file device 1(5be connecled.

• i.LINK is a more lamiliar term lot the IEEE

1394 data mmsport bus pwposed by Sony, and is a trademark approved by many corporalions.

• IEEE 1394 is an inlernational slandard slandardized by lhe lnslimte of Electrical and

Electronics Engineers.

About the i.LINK Baud rate

i.LINK's ttmxitnum b:md rate varies according to the device. There are 3 types.

SI00/approx.

100Mbps*)

$200/approx.

200Mbps)

$400/approx.

400Mbps)

The bald r:de is listed under

"Specifications" in the operatittg ittstructions of each piece of equiptnettt.

It is also indicated near the i.LINK interface on some devices.

The baud rate may differ from the indicated value when the unit is cotmected to a device with a different maximum baud rate.

* Whatis Mhps?

Mbps stands lor "megabits per second," or the amount of data that can be settt or received in otte second. For example, a baud rate of 100 M bps tneans that 100 megabits of data can be sent in one second.

To use i.LINK functionson this unit

For details on how to dub when this unit is connected to other video devices having a

DV htterface, see page 42.44.

This unit catt also be conttected to other i.LINK (DV lnterface/compatible devices made by Sony (e.g. a VAIO series personal computer) as well as to video devices.

Some i.LINK compatible video devices.

such as Digital Televisiotts.
