Default Does it have to be I.Link

I have a Sony Digital 8 Handycam DCR-TRV140 and my mom just picked up a fire wire cord. My question is does it have to be I.link to work with Sony Camcorders or does it just have to be the right number of pins. Cuz I took a look at the cord and it looks like it would go right in. But i dont want to screw up anything by hooking up the wrong cord. Please Reply, Cause im axcious to try out this firewire (she also picked up a card to go with) Thanks

Ilink = DV = Firewire = IEEE 1394. Different names, same thing.

There are 2 different types of firewire cord...a 6 to 4 pin and a 6to 6 pin...most cameras use a 6 to 4.

6-Pin to 6-Pin

6-Pin to 4-Pin

Notice the different connector?

i hope this answers ur ?

It's amazing the way you have to come on a video editing forum to find that out for sure.
