Chapter 1 Introduction

The Sony 1600L i.LINK®(also referred to as the CRX1600L) is a high

performance external CD-RW Recorder/Player with the IEEE 1394

(also called i.LINK or FireWire®) Interface. The 1600L i.LINK drive is

capable of recording and playing rewritable CD-RW and write once

CD-R media as well as being able to read mass produced stamped

CDs. This drive is equipped with the i.LINK interface which can be

easily connected to iBookTM, iMac®DV, G4 and Blue and White

Macintosh G3 computers with built-in FireWire ports as well as PCs

with built-in i.LINK ports or with the addition of iLINK cards. The

1600L i.LINK drive does not support the Apple®FireWire PCI

card. Unlike most other interfaces for storage devices, the i.LINK bus

is not only very fast, but extremely easy to connect and use without

severe limitations as to the number of devices and the distances of the

cabling between devices. And the i.LINK connector is “hot pluggable”

meaning that it can be installed or removed while the computer is

running. Please be careful never to disconnect the drive or other

linked devices while data is being transferred.

The i.LINK Interface

ReWritable

i.LINK

Sony, along with other industry leaders, helped develop the IEEE 1394

standard. IEEE 1394 is an industry standard serial communications

common interface protocol as published by the Institute of Electrical

and Electronics Engineers (IEEE). Designed to provide a high level of

connectivity and ease of use between audio-video components and

personal computers and their peripheral devices, not only is IEEE 1394

exciting from a technical viewpoint, it is a relatively inexpensive

technology which means many types of IEEE 1394 devices should be

available in the near future at reasonable prices.

The Future of IEEE 1394

There are a great many devices either already existing or being

developed with i.LINK technology:

•Computers and their peripheral devices –DVD-ROM, CD-RW, CD-

R, CD-ROM, Magneto Optical, high capacity tape drives, AV hard

disks, printers and scanners.

•Audio devices such as digital audio tape (DAT) decks, synthesizer

units, and other MIDI devices such as keyboards.

•Digital Video products such as digital still cameras, digital

camcorders, antennas, digital monitors and digital editing decks.

•Even digital analog converters that allow users to connect analog

video devices to i.LINK ports. These converters can convert

component YUV signals to the DV signal (digital video signal format

which i.LINK uses). This means users may use the analog

camcorders they already own with i.LINK technology.

Features and Benefits of IEEE 1394

IEEE 1394 has high volume, high speed capabilities. Currently able to

provide up to 400 Megabits per second, IEEE1394 should be capable

of greater speeds in the future. Compare i.LINK technology’s

400Mbps (Megabits per second) to USB’s 12Mbps, or even to SCSI’s

fastest Ultra2 speed of 80 Megabytes per second. Additionally, real

time transfer mode provides uninterrupted transmission of sound and

picture. And because the signals are digital signals, there is virtually no

degradation in picture and sound quality.

IEEE 1394 has advantages in connectivity both on the computer side as

well as the audio video side.

Continued

On the computer side, i.LINK technology allows up to 63 devices to be

linked together without many of the rules and limitations of competing

technologies such as SCSI. There are no addresses to set on the

devices, no terminator needed at the end of the bus. The SCSI

maximum is 15 devices with only a single host. IEEE 1394 allows

more than one computer system to be connected via i.LINK technology

to the same devices which makes shared peripherals much easier to

connect and use than the current means via networked computers. And

since IEEE 1394 is multiplatform, it does not matter which Operating

System different personal computers are using.

On the audio video side only one cable is required and the cable itself

is bi-directional. No longer is there the need to connect the left audio

out signal of one device to the left audio in signal of another device,

right audio out to right audio in. The same is true for video cabling

which can use up to three cables for component signals. For these

audio video devices if you want to change recording or editing

direction between devices, or change which two of multiple devices

you want to work together, you have to dive into the spaghetti of

cables and reconnect them the other way.

CD-R and CD-RW

CD-R is the term used to denote CD-Recordable media. CD-R discs

are recorded permanently. Once information is written, it cannot be

erased. Data can be added until the disc is full. CD-R media is good

for creating archived information that need not be changed, or for

distribution because the price of CD-R media has dropped rapidly in

the last few years.

CD-RW is the term used to denote CD-ReWritable media. CD-RW

discs can be written to many times. CD-RW media is rated for one

thousand different writes to the media. CD-RW is a perfect medium

for creating reliable backups that can be added to as necessary, and

even rewritten as your backup scheme requires.

While CD-RW media is more expensive than CD-R media it has a

lower cost per megabyte than other competing technologies, such as

Magneto-Optical or even magnetic removable media drives.

CD-RW drives are very versatile for transporting information to both

older and newer CD and DVD ROM drives. CD-RW media can be

read by newer CD-ROM and DVD drives. These newer drives are

known as Multi ReadTM (MR) drives. And even though CD-RW media

cannot be read by older CD-ROM drives, the 1600L i.LINK drive can

write to CD-R media which can be read by standard CD-ROM drives

and CD players.

How CD-R and CD-RW work

CD-ROM drives (CD-R and CD-RW drives as well) read the one and

zero bits by difference in reflectivity. Mass produced Compact Discs

are created by stamping “pits”in the CD. These “pits”reflect

differently than the “land”which is the area between “pits.”

CD-R drives work by using a laser beam to heat the recording layer,

causing a chemical reaction in that spot so CD-ROM players will see

this as a “pit”and the unburnt area as “land.”

CD-RW uses what is known as a “Phase Change”technology. In the

CD-RW media is a substance which can be changed from an

amorphous “mark”that very closely resembles the pits of a stamped

CD, to a crystalline state which resembles “land.”The laser beam of

the 1600L i.LINK drive changes the crystalline state to the amorphous

state by use of a laser to quickly heat the spot on the disc, forming a

mark. To change the amorphous state back to the crystalline state the

laser beam uses a lower power setting to transition the mark back to the

crystalline “land.”

Performance

The 1600L i.LINK drive is capable of writing CD-R media at 12×

MAX speed and CD-RW media at 8×MAX speed. 12×speed means

that the 1600L i.LINK drive can record a full 650 megabyte CD-R disc

in about 5 minutes. At 8×speed the 1600L i.LINK can record a full

650 megabyte CD-RW or CD-R disc in about 9 minutes.

The 1600L i.LINK drive is a multi-function device since the drive is

also capable of reading at 32×Maximum (4,800 kilobytes per second).
