Connecting a Digital Video Camcorder

To connect a digital video camcorder

1

Plug one end of an i.LINK cable (1) (not supplied) into the i.LINK port (2) on the computer and the other end into the DV
In/Out ports (3) on the digital video camcorder.

2

Launch the DVgate Plus software.

✍

On Sony digital video cameras, ports labeled DV Out, DV In/Out, or i.LINK are i.LINK-compatible.

The Sony digital video camcorder shown here is an example; your digital video camcorder may need to be connected differently.
