Most DV devices are only S100 devices ( = support only 100 Mbit/s data rate), some rare ones are S200, some S400 ( = support 100, 200, and 400 Mbit/s). S100 is less demanding on cables; it is easily possible that a badly built cable works without a glitch at S100 but fails miserably at S400. -- Stefan Richter -=====-==-== ==-- =--== http://arcgraph.de/sr/ |
