What is i.LINK?
i.LINK is a digital serial interface that provides bi-directional communication
of digital video and audio data between devices that are equipped with i.LINK
connectors, or that allows one device equipped with an i.LINK connector to
control another device that is similarly equipped.
Two i.LINK devices are connected by means of a single i.LINK cable. Using
i.LINK, a wide variety of audio-visual devices can be connected for control or
data exchange. Use of i.LINK is expected to expand to a wider variety of
devices in the future, providing even more options for control and data
exchange.
When multiple i.LINK devices are connected in series, control and data
exchange can be extended to devices that are connected via other i.LINK
devices, as well as to those connected directly. This means that devices can be
connected in any sequence. However, whether or not data can be exchanged
with a particular device, as well as how or if that device can be controlled
depends on the characteristics and specifications of the individual device.
