Connecting an i.LINK Device
Notes on connecting i.LINK devices
❑
You need the supplied port replicator to connect an i.LINK device, such as a digital video camcorder, or another VAIO
computers in order to copy, delete or edit files.
❑
The i.LINK port on the port replicator does not supply power to external devices generally powered by i.LINK ports.
❑
The i.LINK port supports transfer rates up to 400 Mbps; however, the actual transfer rate depends on the transfer rate of
the external device.
❑
The optional i.LINK cables may not be available, depending on the country or area of your residency.
❑
An i.LINK connection with other compatible devices is not fully guaranteed.
❑
The i.LINK connection varies depending on the software applications, operating system, and i.LINK-compatible devices
you use. See the manual that came with your software for more information.
❑
Check the working conditions and OS compatibility of i.LINK-compatible PC peripherals (for example, an HDD or a CD-
RW drive) before you connect them to your computer.
Connecting a Digital Video Camcorder
The connection and video import procedures vary depending on the digital video camcorder and the software that you use.
See the manual that came with your digital video camcorder for the detailed instructions.
