2. FIREWIRE -- IEEE 1394 Standard Standard for a High Performance Serial Bus
Originally started in 1986 to unify different serial buses per the request of the IEEE Microprocessor Standards Committee
Industries needed an improved external I/O interconnect for multimedia information
Required real-time transport, higher data rates, and a more rugged cable and connector system
3. FIREWIRE -- IEEE 1394 Standard Functionality Requirements
Provide same service as modern IEEE-standard parallel buses, but a lower cost
Provide flexible ways to share real-time information among data-intensive applications
Allow “plug and play” capability for electronic devices
(i.e. Printers, scanners, cameras, camcorders, etc)
4. FIREWIRE -- Cables
5. FIREWIRE -- Adapters 4-pin Connector
Cardbus
6-pin Connector
6. FIREWIRE -- Comparisons
7. FIREWIRE -- Benefits Works with Macs and PCs
SPEED, SPEED and more SPEED
Hot-pluggable
Automatic Configuration
8. FIREWIRE -- Applications Digital Video (DV) Camcorders & Cameras
Camcorders store incoming audio and video in a digital format called DV (30 frames / second)
Cameras can capture 6 million pixels in single click
Firewire allows the DV to be transferred without the lost of frames
Firewire enhances digital still image capture
9. FIREWIRE -- Future Applications Printers
Not Cost-conscious
Faster connects to printers
Mass Storage Devices
Connection simplicity
Provides DC power
Serial Bus Protocol-2 ???
