| IOI-1394TTO is a 3-port OHCI-compliant IEEE 1394
to PCI host adapter that provides plug-and-play connectivity for FireWire
multimedia and storage devices such as DV camcorders, hard drives, CD-RWs,
scanners, and still cameras. The card features hot-swapping and daisy-chaining
capabilities. It connects up to 62 external FireWire/i.Link?devices with
transmission rates of up to 400Mbits/sec (50Mbytes/sec).
Features of IEEE 1394:
- IEEE-1394 is aimed at higher-speed multimedia peripherals such as
video camcorders, music synthesizers, DVCR, DVD/CD ROM, CD-RW, scanner,
camera and hard disks.
- IEEE-1394 offers incredible convenience through "hot plug"
capability, eliminating any need to turn off or restart the computer
when attaching a new peripherals.
- IEEE-1394 is ease of use. It also features automatic configuration,
jumpers, DIP switches, screws, latches, terminators, simple-to-use cables,
and, no device IDs needed.
- IEEE-1394 supports up to 63 devices using cable lengths up to 14 feet
(about 4.5m). It provides it's own bus power, enabling peripherals to
be even simpler.
- It is cross-platform industry standards.
BENEFITS of IEEE 1394:
- You can bring video images directly into your computer over a IEEE-1394
connection as a perfect digital copy with no conversion losses.
- IEEE-1394 is a peer-to-peer technology. You can connect other systems
on the same IEEE-1394 bus.
- It provides High Speed Local Area Networking at 400Mbps.
- Plug-and-Play networking in tree topology.
- No hubs, hassles, and terminators are needed or used.
