What Is A Digital
Interface?
The DCIC is the connection point for digital equipment such as USB cameras,
camcorders, and other devices. The DCIC is made up of two Universal Serial Bus
(USB) connectors and one IEEE 1394 connector (designed to support rapid transfer
of audio and video signals).
Check the guidelines for your particular digital equipment to determine which
connector is required.
What is USB?
Universal Serial Bus (USB) is a peripheral bus standard that allows you to attach
peripheral devices, such as gamepads, joysticks, scanners, and printers, among many
others, to your computer, usually without having to reboot or reconfigure the system.
This plug and play ability allows for quick and easy changes of your peripheral
devices.

information.
What is 1394?
The IEEE 1394 is an easy to use, plug and play, high-speed connector that interfaces
between PCs, peripherals, and consumer electronics products. Some popular IEEE
1394 products are digital cameras, digital camcorders, digital VCRs, and digital
audio players, with many new products constantly in development.
