 1394
Solutions from ADS Technologies
1394a is an IEEE (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers)
designation for a high performance serial bus. The IEEE 1394a
specification supports data rates of 100, 200 and 400 Mbits/ sec.
1394 is faster, handles more data and is easier to use than other
high-speed technologies such as SCSI. 1394 allows any device to be a
master device. A PC is not required in a 1394 topology. For example you
can connect two digital camcorders together for dubbing video or connect
a digital camcorder to a digital VCR. 1394a is truly Plug and Play. 1394
devices are daisy chainable meaning you can plug one device into another
device and so on. The signal is repeated from one device to the next.
Each device has a unique ID and every device in the chain is notified of
every other device as it is plugged or unplugged from the chain. Devices
can be hot-plugged and unplugged. Since 1394 devices can be connected to
other 1394 devices, you can have several device branches of devices. You
can have up to 16 devices linked or daisy chained in any one branch and
a total of 63 devices connected.
