i.LINK connectors on the back of the system. A 6-pin i.LINK connector can supply power from the

connector cannot supply power to a connected device.
Capturing and Editing Digital Video Images
You can capture digital video images using a digital video camera recorder and DVgate Motion
software. Once the images are saved as AVI files, they can be edited using DVgate Motion, DVgate
Clip, or Adobe Premiere
®
LE. You cannot capture digital video images directly using the Capture
menu in Adobe Premiere LE. Adobe Premiere LE supports an analog capture board for capturing
images. Your VAIO computer is designed for digital video input.
If there is no audio data associated with an AVI file, the message "Codec compression error"
appears. If you do not wish to associate audio with your AVI file, you can add muted sound data
by recording audio with the mute option enabled.
For best performance, when editing AVI files in Adobe Premiere LE, you should use the default
setup parameters that shipped with your system. If you change the default setup and want to
reinitialize the parameters, follow these steps:
1.
In the Adobe Premiere LE application, select Compression from the Make menu. The
Compression Settings dialog box appears.
2.
In the Method list box, select Sony DV software CODEC.
3.
Click OK to close the screen.
