Connecting an i.LINK-compatible Device
You can connect an i.LINK-compatible device such as a digital video
camera recorder to the S400™ connector. You can then download
digital pictures from the i.LINK-compatible digital video camera
recorder.
✍
The Sony digital video camera recorder (DCR-PC7) is pictured; you may need to connect
your camera differently.
On Sony digital video cameras, connectors labeled “DV In/Out” or “i.LINK” are i.LINK-
compatible.
See the manual that came with your i.LINK-compatible device for more information on
installation and use.
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 connector on the computer does not supply power to external devices. If the
external device requires power from the i.LINK connector, you cannot use the device with
the computer.
The computer supports transfer rates up to 400 Mbps; however, the actual transfer rate
depends on 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.
The connections and features may vary depending on the i.LINK-compatible devices. See
“i.LINK cables” on page 41 and Connecting an i.LINK-compatible Device, above, for more
information on cables and connections.
You can connect the digital video camera recorder either to your notebook computer or to
the optional i.LINK port replicator. When you connect the digital video camera recorder to
your computer or an i.LINK port replicator, do not connect anything to the other i.LINK
connector.
