FireWire Connection:
The camera is connected to the computer with
a FireWire cable which allows the transfer of the digital signal
from one DV device to another. This provides the best data exchange
in speed and quality. FireWire
ports are now available on Macintosh DV computers. On new Windows
PCs, if FireWire ports aren't fitted, video users must obtain
a PCI card (Peripheral Component Interconnect) containing one
or more FireWire sockets.
The FireWire connection is also
called iLink on most camcorders and may be referred to as IEEE1394
in the computer and camera specs.
