i.LINK TerminalsBoth the HM-DT100 and HM-DH5 provide i.LINK terminals on
the front and rear of the unit to conveniently connect to a digital set-top box*
for the transfer and recording of HD and SD broadcast digital signals, or to
i.LINK-compatible devices, such as a digital camcorder or HD camcorder for
editing. This direct digital
connection also makes digital-to-digital dubbing convenient. The IEEE 1394 complant (i.LINK)
connection converts DV to MPEG-2 for editing of camcorder footage. It can also receive and transfer 720p
MPEG-2 Transport Stream data signals from an HD camcorder for editing and
dubbing.
*Service depends on whether the digital stream provided by
cable systems conforms to the ATSC format.
