be connected differently.
See the manual supplied with your digital video camera recorder for more information on installation and
use.
Do not connect more than one digital video camera at a time. The software supplied with your computer will
not recognize multiple cameras.
The software limits the use of
more than one digital video
camera recorder or i.LINK™
device at the same time.

supports transfer rates up to
400 Mbps; however, the actual
transfer rate depends on the
transfer rate of the external
