First - The Terms IEEE 1394, 'FireWire', 'iLink' and 'DV IN/OUT'
All Refer To The Same Digital-Video Data-Transfer interface
(Method),
Which Follows A Precise World Standard.
To
Transfer 'Digital-Video' (DV) From A 'Digital Video Device'
(Camcorder, DV Tape Player) To A Computer, The Computer Must Have A
Digital-Video Interface; Referred To As A "IEEE 1394"
'Port', 'Jack', Or 'Interface'.
The 'Digital-Video Interface'
Is Marketed With Different Names ( This Marketing
Misleads The Consumer into Thinking Its Something
Special Only From That Brand Of Product). The
Marketing Names Are "FireWire", "i.Link";
And By A Generic Technology-Term "DV IN/OUT". For
Any Other Named Interface On A Specific Digital-Video Device, Please Refer To The Owner's Manual Or
Manufacturer Of The Device.
A Software Video Editor's Built-In DV
Support may rely on DV
support in the operating system of the PC Computer; such as Windows
XP. To provide DV support through their operating systems,
Microsoft and Apple require IEEE 1394 interfaces that are
compliant with the OHCI specification. Many computers include OHCI-compliant IEEE 1394 ports on the computer, and almost all
current IEEE 1394 cards are OHCI-compliant.
IEEE
1394 interfaces that are not supported by the operating system
require their own presets, driver software, and plug-ins for
use with your editing software. If your computer does not have
a built-in IEEE 1394 interface, you can purchase a
specification-grade IEEE1394 Host-Controller PCI Card <here>. Check with your computer's documentation for more information.
The
first step in transferring Digital Video, is to connect the camcorder
or deck to the IEEE 1394 port or card in your PC system. Plug
an IEEE 1394 connector into the DV In/Out port on the
camcorder or deck and plug the other end into the IEEE 1394
port on the system's panel or on the card installed in the
system.
Some
DV camcorders require a connection to their power adapter to
activate the IEEE 1394 port. Other camcorders may go into
sleep mode or demo mode if left in the camera mode without
tape activity for a period of time. To avoid these problems,
connect your camcorder to its power adapter when setting it up
for capturing or dubbing video. If the camcorder goes into
demo mode with the power adapter connected, turn off this
feature using the camcorder's menu system.
