DVgate™ Applications
Digital Video Captures
If your system displays the message “Failed to record to DV deck. Please check
deck’s power status, cable connection and so on.” while you are recording images
to a digital video device using DVgate, close all open applications, and restart
your computer. Frequent recording of images to a digital video device while
using DVgate may cause this to occur occasionally.
For more information on DVgate, see the DVgate online help.
✍
The Sony digital video camera recorder is pictured; your digital video camera recorder
may need to be connected differently.
Only Sony digital video cameras, and connectors labeled “DV In/Out” or “i.LINK” are
i.LINK-compatible.
See the manual that came with your digital video camera recorder for more
information on installation and use.
The i.LINK connector does not supply power to external devices. If the external device
requires power from the i.LINK connector, you cannot use the device with your
computer.
The VAIO® notebook supports transfer rates up to 400 Mbps; however, the actual
transfer rate is the lowest transfer rate of the external device.
The i.LINK features available may vary depending on the software applications you
use. See the documentation that came with your software for more information.
