AA1142 Frequently Asked Questions

I have a SONY HC22E Handycam, I've heard that a i.LINK cable is a better cable to use for video editing on a computer the only trouble is I don't think I have a port for this cable. Is there an adapter for a USB port or any thing like that, or does it mean that I'll only be able to use a USB connection to do my editing? I can't seem to get a good picture quality with the set up at the moment can you help ?
An i.Link cable is able to transfer the data from your Handycam faster than a USB cable. There is no difference in the picture quality as the same information is transferred by both cables. Some Handycam will reduce the quality to ensure a fast transfer of data over USB. In this case just configure the Handycam for maximum picture quality. We have never seen a USB to firewire converter. You will need to add a i.Link port to your computer.

My Camcorder, i.e. JVC gr-dx100ek only has a Firewire, i.Link interface only. Can I connect this is to a USB port?
No - We have never seen a USB to Firewire adapter or converter. You will need to upgrade your PC with a Firewire port.
