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?

a FireWire adapter

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