Need to connect Firewire devices to a new iMac
I have two devices with only Firewire output, a Sony DSR-11 (4-pin) and a Canopus ADVC 110 (4-pin and 6-pin).
How can I connect these devices to a 2020 iMac?

You will need a Thunderbolt 3 adapter

a FireWire adapter

and adapters or cables from FireWire 800 to match your 6-pin or 4-pin devices.
