How to connect a digital SONY camcorder to a computer using an i.LINK�
connection (IEEE 1394).


Follow this procedure to connect a digital camcorder to a computer using an
i.LINK� connection (IEEE 1394).

IMPORTANT: The computer must have an i.LINK� (IEEE 1394) port and compatible
video capture software installed.

NOTE: The i.LINK� ports may have four or six pin connections. Sony� digital
camcorders use i.LINK� ports with four pins. Consult the computer or capture
card manufacturer for the specifications of the i.LINK� port on the
computer.

1.. Verify that the tape that is being used actually has video recorded on
it, and that it is rewound.
2.. Connect the i.LINK� cable to the digital camcorder.
3.. Connect the other end of the i.LINK� cable to the computer.
4.. Turn on the computer.
5.. Turn on the digital camcorder.
6.. Start the video capture software on the computer.
NOTE: Image capture should be available if the computer hardware and
software are configured correctly. If image capture is not available,
consult the computer or capture card manufacturer for assistance

hope it helps you.
