If you want to connect the camera to an IEEE 1394a device, as applies to most laptops, you
must use a conversion cable. The cable will have a 9-pin IEEE 1394b plug on the end that
connects to the camera and a 6-pin IEEE 1394a plug on the end that connects to the computer
or the powered hub.
Figure 5 shows a variety of ways that an IEEE 1394b camera can be connected to an IEEE
1394 adapter in a computer. Refer to the figure and plan your cabling needs now.
