Notes on connecting an i.LINK device
 A connection to a Sony digital camcorder is pictured above; your digital camcorder may need to be connected
differently.
 See the manual supplied with your digital camcorder for more information on its installation and use.
 Only Sony digital video camera ports labeled "DV In/Out" or "i.LINK" are compatible i.LINK devices.
 Do not connect more than one digital video camera at a time. The software supplied with your computer will not
recognize multiple cameras.
 The i.LINK port does not supply power to external devices. If the external device requires power from the i.LINK
port, you cannot use the device with the computer.

transfer rate supported by the external device. If multiple devices are connected, the transfer rate will be the
lowest maximum transfer rate for the connected devices.
