to an i.LINK™ device such as a digital video camera recorder or to connect two VAIO
notebooks in order to copy, delete or edit files.

and the other end into the DV Out connector on the digital video camera recorder.
2 Launch the DVgate application. Please refer to DVgate in your Software Guide for
further details.
The software limits the use of
more than one digital video
camera recorder or i.LINK™
device at the same time.
On Sony digital video cameras,
connectors labeled “DV Out”,
“DV In/Out” or “i.LINK™” are
i.LINK™-compatible.
The i.LINK™ connector of your
notebook computer does not
supply power to external
devices generally powered by
i.LINK™ connectors.
The i.LINK™ connector
supports transfer rates up to
400 Mbps; however, the actual
transfer rate depends on the
transfer rate of the external
device.
The i.LINK™ features available
may vary depending on the
software applications you use.
Please refer to the
documentation that came with
your software for more
information.
