To connect your Macintosh to a DV camera, plug the 6-pin connector into the Apple FireWire
Card and the 4-pin connector into the camera’s DV port. Both of these connectors snap into
place when properly engaged. If you want to connect two computers together (or if your
device has a 6-pin FireWire port), you can obtain cables through an AV equipment retailer or
electronics store.
