IEEE 1394
The IEEE 1394 interface is a serial bus interface standard and enables
simple, low‑cost, high‑bandwidth isochronous (real‑time) data interaction
between computers, peripherals, and consumer electronics products
such as camcorders, VCRs, printers, TVs, and digital cameras. With IEEE
1394‑compatible products and systems, you can transfer video or still
images without losing quality.
Key Features
• Digital – Provides better signal quality as it does not require
digital‑analog‑digital conversion.
• Connectivity – Uses a thin serial cable that, through the use of repeaters,
can be extended to 100 meters or more over CAT5, fibre optic, or
coaxial cables.
• Easy to use – Eliminates the need for special drivers or perform
complicated set‑ups.
• Hot pluggable – Enables devices to be added and removed while the
device and computer are turned on.
• Flexible – Allows you to connect devices to each other by daisy‑
chaining them together, without the need for hubs or switches. Also
supports branching, looping, and other topologies, which reduces
cabling complexity. Supports up to 64 devices on a single connection.
• Fast – Supports delivery of time‑critical data at multiple speeds,
currently including 100, 200 400, and 800 Megabits per second over
a single continuous cable or bus. This enables high‑quality audio and
video applications at low costs.
Types of IEEE 1394 Connectors
• 4‑pin connector
