What is i.LINK?
i.LINK is a digital serial interface for
transferring digital video, digital audio,
and other data to other i.LINK-compatible
devices. You can also control other devices
using the i.LINK.
i.LINK-compatible devices can be
connected using an i.LINK cable
(optional). Possible applications are
operations and data transactions with
various digital AV devices.
When two or more i.LINK-compatible
devices are connected to this unit in a daisy
chain, operations and data transactions are
possible with not only the device that this
unit is connected to but also with other
devices via the directly connected device.
Note, however, that the method of
operation sometimes varies according to
the characteristics and specifications of the
device to be connected. Also, operations
and data transactions may not be possible
on some connected devices.
