5.3 Using the IEEE 1394 Port
IEEE 1394, also known as FireWire, is a high-bandwidth serial bus developed
by Apple and Texas Instruments. IEEE 1394 supports 100, 200, and 400
Mbps (Megabit per second) transfer rates and is widely used for downing video
from digital camcorders to the computer. In addition to its high speed, IEEE
1394 enables isochronous (real-time) data transfer. This makes it ideal for
devices that transfer high-bandwidth of data in real-time, such as video devices.
It supports both Plug-and-Play and hot plugging, and also allows for the
connection of up to 63 devices.
With built-in IEEE 1394 port, this computer enables the peripheral devices in
transmitting digital video data or data backup. The Windows system will
automatically recognize it after installing a suitable driver for it. Please visit
Microsoft's web site for more information about it. Moreover, you should
install the driver of peripheral device to connect with the IEEE 1394 port, for
details please refer to the manual that comes with your peripheral device.
