Not just that, but firewire is a standard in transferring digital video in
real time, from a camcorder to a computer.

This is the 4 in 1 firewire receptacle

It's a 6 in 1 firewire receptacle.

Since you have both a desktop and a laptop, I strongly recommend you use the
former one, since it has more processing power, a faster spinning hard
drive, more powerful processor etc.and so will yield better results.

It's sony's proprietary system, for connecting your camcorder to a remote
release or whatever.
