Interface

i.LINK

What is i.LINK?

This section explains the specifications and features of i.LINK.
Restrictions that are not outlined below may apply, depending on the features
and specifications of individual i.LINK devices.

i.LINK is a digital serial interface that allows bi-directional transfer of digital
video and audio data between devices equipped with i.LINK connectors. It
also allows one device equipped with an i.LINK connector to control another
device that is similarly equipped.
Two i.LINK devices are connected through a single i.LINK cable. Using
i.LINK, a wide variety of audio-visual devices can be connected for control
or data transfer. 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
transfer.
When multiple i.LINK devices are connected in series, control and data
transfer can be extended to devices connected through other i.LINK devices,
as well as to those connected directly. This means that devices can be
connected in any sequence. However, whether data can be transferred 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.

Note

i.LINK, the internationally popular name for the IEEE 1394 interface
standard, is a Sony trademark.
IEEE 1394 is an international standard established by the Institute of
Electrical and Electronics Engineers.

Connection Using i.LINK

i.LINK devices are connected in series using i.LINK cables. This is often
referred to as a “daisy chain”.

i.LINK cable

Data transfer and control are possible even when two i.LINK devices
are connected through other devices.

Chapter 2 Preparation 13

Branching is also possible

• When devices have three or more i.LINK connectors, it is possible to create
branches midway through the i.LINK daisy chain.

• Up to 63 i.LINK devices (including this drive) can be interconnected.
However, only 17 devices can be present on the longest individual path. (Up
to 16 i.LINK cables can be used in the chain making up a path of the
maximum possible length.)

The length of a path is indicated in terms of the number of i.LINK cables used,
with each cable counted as one “hop.” For example, in the figure below, the path
between A and C is 6 hops, while that between A and D is 3 hops.

Any of the paths (A p B, A p C, A p D, B p C, B p D, and C p D) can be
composed of a maximum of 17 devices. (A maximum of 16 hops.)

Care must be taken to ensure that no path loops back up on itself

The digital signal passes through all the connected i.LINK cables. Circular
connections must be avoided to prevent signals from returning to the device
from which they originated. Such circular connections are referred to as
“loops.”

Examples of correct connections

Examples of loops

Connection Precautions

• Some i.LINK devices, such as computers, must be turned on to relay data to
other i.LINK devices. When connecting an i.LINK device, refer to the
instructions accompanying the device.

• The maximum data transfer rate supported by any given i.LINK device is
indicated near the i.LINK connector. The maximum i.LINK data transfer
rates are defined as being approximately 100, 200, and 400 Mbps,
respectively noted as S100, S200, and S400. When devices having different
maximum data transfer rates are connected together, rates achieved by
individual devices may be less than their rated maximums.

Chapter 3 Operation

This chapter describes how to use the AIT drive, and how to handle data
cartridges.

Using the AIT Drive

1 Press the POWER switch on the front panel.

The POWER indicator lights, and the STATUS, BUSY, and TAPE
indicators blink as the self-test is performed.

2 When the three indicators stop blinking and the BUSY indicator lights,

insert a data cartridge as indicated below. As the tape is being loaded, the
TAPE indicator blinks. If the tape is loaded successfully, the TAPE
indicator lights. (If the cartridge is write-protected, the STATUS
indicator also lights.)

Figure 3-1. Inserting a data cartridge

3 Computer software controls tape reading and writing. While reading or

writing, the BUSY indicator blinks.

Note

Do not disconnect the USB or i.LINK cable when you are reading or
writing data as this could cause malfunctions.

Chapter 3 Operation 15

Removing the Cartridge

Press the EJECT button.
A few seconds later, the ejection procedure starts (rewinding the tape, etc.),
and the BUSY and TAPE indicators blink simultaneously. When the ejection
procedure ends, the cartridge is ejected automatically.

Notes

• Do not press the EJECT button while the BUSY indicator is blinking (data
is being written or read) as this may destroy data on the tape.

• The ejection procedure may take up to a few minutes to complete. For this
reason, it is important not to turn off the drive before the cartridge is
ejected.

Chapter 4 Care and Maintenance

Taking Care of the Drive

Safety Considerations

■ Power

• 100 to 240 V AC.

• Avoid plugging into the same outlet as high-current equipment like copiers

or shredders.

■ Power Cable Precautions

• Do not crush the cable or place heavy items on it. If the cable insulation
appears worn or broken, do not use the cable.

• Always unplug the cable by holding the plug: never pull the cable itself, as
it will break.

• If the drive is not being used for a long time, unplug the cable from the
outlet.

Avoiding Damage

■ Avoid shock and vibration

Intense shock, such as from dropping the drive, will damage it.

■ Environmental considerations

Do not store or use the drive in locations subject to:

• high humidity • excessive dust

• high temperature • intense vibration

• direct sunlight • sudden changes in temperature

■ Proper ventilation

To avoid overheating, install the drive where it has free air circulation around
the case and cooling fan. Also, do not cover the drive during operation. The
drive can malfunction if its internal temperature rises too high.

■ Avoid sudden changes in temperature

If the drive is moved from a cool place to a warm place, or if the room
temperature suddenly rises, moisture may condense inside the case. After a
sudden change in temperature, wait at least one hour before turning the drive
on.

Chapter 4 Care and Maintenance 17

■ Abnormal occurrences

If the drive behaves abnormally, or if it begins to smell or smoke,
immediately unplug it from the wall outlet and contact your supplier for
assistance.

■ Cabinet cleaning

Wipe the cabinet with a soft dry cloth. For heavy dirt, wipe with a soft cloth
moistened with a gentle liquid soap, then wipe again with a soft dry cloth. Do
not use alcohol, paint thinner, bug sprays or other volatile solvents, as they
can damage the finish.
