LINK connector can supply power from the computer to the connected device if the device is equipped with a 6-pin connector. A 4-pin i. LINK connector cannot supply power to a connected device. Capturing and Editing Digital Video Images You can capture digital video images using a digital video camera recorder and DVgate Motion software. Once the images are saved as AVI files, they can be edited using DVgate Motion, DVgate Clip, or Adobe Premiere® LE. You cannot capture digital video images directly using the Capture menu in Adobe Premiere LE. Adobe Premiere LE supports an analog capture board for capturing images. Your VAIO computer is designed for digital video input. If there is no audio data associated with an AVI file, the message "Codec compression error" appears. If you do not wish to associate audio with your AVI file, you can add muted sound data by recording audio with the mute option enabled. For best performance, when editing AVI files in Adobe Premiere LE, you should use the default setup parameters that shipped with your system. The frame you see immediately after clicking the [OUT] button is not captured. When recording AVI files to tape: Do not use DVgate Motion when the connected digital video peripheral is in Timer Recording mode, as this could produce a malfunction in the peripheral. o You can record only AVI files. MPEG files cannot be recorded. To avoid recording problems, such as a single frame appearing in multiple frames, close other applications on your system while recording. You cannot use different audio modes on the same tape. If you have AVI files that use different audio modes, they cannot be recorded at the same time, but must be recorded separately. Do not attempt to work with AVI files that are smaller than 4 MB. DVgate Motion does not support hard disk compression. You should not use disk compression if you are planning to work with DVgate Motion. In order to maximize recording capabilities, video and audio data are not available while you are recording. If DVgate Motion indicates that frames have been dropped, you should try closing all open applications, or you may need to defragment your hard drive. Restoring Audio Drivers When you restore the audio drivers from the Application Recovery CD, you need to restart your system to use these drivers. In the Add New Hardware wizard that appears when you restart, click the Next button until you are prompted for the location of the drivers. The audio drivers are located on the Application Recovery CD in G:\drivers\audio\AL98091701\English. Using AC-3 to Optical Digital Audio Output Minidisc player/recorders, DAT player/recorders, and older digital receivers do not support Dolby Digital (AC-3).
