What is the firewire® camera?
Firewire® is a digital camera capable of connecting to a personal computer via the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) 1394. Some of these cameras are compatible with the Instrumentation & Industrial Digital Camera (IIDC) specification, which is a data format that can be used for live video. Many different industries use devices with this interface and the optical part of the FireWire® special camera can consist of everything from telescope to microscope. This was known by a number of brands such as I.Link ™ and Lynx ™, although IEEE officially received the name firewire® in 2002. The standard is commonly used to connect data to computer data and offers all SCSI SMALL capabilities (SCSI). It is also a popular connection for applications for seeing industrial machines and all kinds of digital video devices.
There are two main types of Consumer Firewire® cameras. Photo Firewire® is a device designed for photography. Firewire® connection allows you to transfer image files from the camera to the computer, but can also be used to send control signals. Photo cameras that use firewire® are also available for professional applications, including the back of the camera that can connect to a common film camera for taking digital images.
Another main type of firewire® camera can be used to record digital video and sound. These camcorders range from cheap consumer devices to advanced professional units. Most of these devices use audio video control (AV/C), a standard that provides video and sound data flow in addition to camera control signals. Some FireWire® camcorders are also compatible with IIDC, which is a similar standard suitable for overNose of living sound and videos. This format is useful in machine vision applications, but is also used for some webcams and other similar devices.
In addition to consumer and professional -class cameras, many different industries use some type of special firewire®. These situations usually require an IIDC format for uncompressed sound and video. These cameras are used in laboratory conditions, industrial production environment and various other situations. Unlike most firewire® cameras, which can act as a mass storage device, most of these special cameras transmit data directly to the computer.
