Definitions for "IEEE 1394"
High speed interface, up to 400Mbps. Usually used to transfer video and audio files from a capturing device like a camcorder to a computer for editing and format conversion purpose. Its popular name is FireWire.
Also known as Firewire or DTVLink, this refers to a flexible digital connection standard supporting daisy chaining and branching for peer-to-peer implementations. IEEE 1394 can also be defined as a network providing inter-operability between digital audio and video applications, capable of transmitting high-quality audio and video streams between devices.
Also called Firewire or iLink. Originally a serial bus for computers, 1394 may or may not become the interconnection standard for DTV products. It is competing with DVI. IEEE 1394 is specs for hardware interconnect plus a software shell. But additional software, such as HAVi, is required for connected units to actually talk to each other. Some day 1394 may dramatically simplify the way DTV products interconnect.
