Digital Video Camera Recorder
You can connect a digital video camera recorder to the S200 i.LINK™
(IEEE-1394) connector and use the editing features of DVgate Motion
software (DVgate Motion is only available with the PCG-F190).
To connect a digital video camera recorder
1
Plug one end of the i.LINK cable into the i.LINK connector on the left
side of the computer and the other end into the DV Out connector on
the digital video camera recorder.
2
Launch DVgate Motion application. See "About the Software"
guide,“DVgate Motion*” on page 6.
✍
The Sony digital video camera recorder (DCR-PC7) is pictured; your digital video camera
recorder may need to be connected differently.
On Sony digital video cameras, connectors labeled “DV Out”, “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.
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 does not supply power to external devices generally powered by i.LINK
connectors.
The i.LINK connector supports transfer rates up to 200 Mbps; however, the actual transfer
rate is depending on the 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.
