Firewire

A type of cabling technology for transferring data to

and from digital devices at high speed. Some
professional digital cameras and memory card readers
connect to the computer over FireWire. FireWire card
readers are typically faster than those that connect via
USB. Also known as IEEE 1394, FireWire was invented
by Apple Computer but is now commonly used with
Windows-based PCs as well.

A high-speed serial-bus standard that offers enhanced
connectivity and data transfer for video, audio and
storage peripheral applications through a universal
input/output (I/O) interface.

A very fast external bus that supports data transfer
rates of up to 400 Mbps. Firewire was developed by
Apple and falls under the IEEE 1394 standard. Other
companies follow the IEEE 1394 but have names such
as Lynx and I-Link.

Apple's trademark name for the IEEE 1394 standard.
FireWire is a fast and versatile interface used to
connect DV cameras to computers. FireWire is well
suited to applications that move large amounts of data,
and can also be used to connect hard disks, scanners,
and other kinds of computer peripherals.

The former name for High Performance Serial Bus. A
serial bus developed by Apple Computer and Texas
Instruments (IEEE 1394). The High Performance Serial
Bus can connect up to 63 devices in a tree-like daisy
chain configuration, and transmit data at up to 400
megabits per second. It supports plug-and-play and
peer-to-peer communication between

An interface standard adopted by the Institute of
Electrical and Electronics Engineers for very fast (400
megabits per second) digital data transfer, especially of
streaming video. Also called FireWire (Apple
Computer's trademarked name) and i.Link. In A/V
applications, tiny but robust 1394 connectors have so
far been used mostly for digital camcorder outputs, but
they will become extremely important in computer
controlled home entertainment or communication or
appliance networks.

Firewire is a form of connection standard for connecting
external devices to home computers. Originalyl
developed by Apple, Firewire is now becoming more
popular for Windows-based home computers as well.
Firewire connections are often faster than USB
connections.

A hardware link between an Apple computer and an
input device such as an external hard drive or video
camera.

(IEEE 1394) Another new type of external bus, which
supports very fast transfer rates: 400 Mbps. Because of
this, FireWire is suitable for connecting video devices,
such as VCRs, to the computer.

FireWire is a fast peripheral interconnect standard
capable of transfer speeds up to 400 Mbs. It works well
for multimedia peripherals such as DV (Digital Video)
cameras and other high-speed devices like the latest
hard disk drives, CD/DVD burners and printers.

The IEEE-1394 High Performance Serial Bus. This
standard supports data rates of 100/200/400
Megabits/second. It is used with high quality digital
video such as the DV digital video standard and
cameras.
www.jmcgowan.com/avigloss.html
A digital interface developed by the IEEE 1394 working
group. Transports data at 100, 200, or 400 Mbps. Can
be used to connect digital television devices together.
IEEE 1394 data transfer can be asynchronous - or
isochronous. Asynchronous transport is the traditional
computer memory-mapped, load and store interface.
Isochronous data channels provide guaranteed data
transport at a pre-determined rate. ...

Computer, Inc. that allow the transmission of data,
video, audio, over a single cable at very high bit rates
(up to 500 Mbps). FireWire is also known as iLink or
IEEE 1394.

performance serial bus interface standard offering high-
speed communications and isochronous real-time data
services.
digitalstudio.ucr.edu/tutorials/final_cut/glossary.html
One format, used a lot by Apple Computer Corp., for
transmitting digital information including video over
wire between components such as between a computer
and a monitor. Every analog to digital conversion
results in some loss of quality, therefore it is
advantageous to transmit video digitally to any
component (such as a scaler) that processes video
digitally. It is not very common in consumer video
applications because it currently does not support
HDCP copy protection.

FireWire (also known as i.Link or IEEE 1394) is a
personal computer and digital video serial bus interface
standard offering high-speed communications and
isochronous real-time data services. FireWire can be
considered a successor technology to the obsolescent
SCSI Parallel Interface.
