What is Firewire® 800?
FireWire® 800 is a hardware data transfer model for various electronic devices from personal computers to digital cameras using serial bus architecture for the first time invented by Apple® Corporation in 1986. Electrical and Electric. Like the popular Port Universal Serial BUS (USB) on many computers and other electronic data storage devices since 2011, the Firewire® interface has had a form of universal connection for various consumer electronics. Initially, the Firewire® 400 was standard, where up to 400 megabites per second (MBPS) and Firewire® 800 were an improvement in 2002, which doubled this speed, which is sometimes referred to as IEEE 1394B.
One of the unique benefits of Firewire® technology that has not seen much use on the consumer market since 2011is that it allows a long number of devices to be connected. The 1394 specification allows connection of up to 63 devices and the estimated specifications 1394.1 would allow the connection of more than 60,000 devices together the FireWire® cables together. However, the cables themselves correspond only to a specific device. There are three types of firewire® cables, while 6-round design is model that is modeled for computer systems produced by Apple® Corporation. The four-wheeler model was created for Windows®-based computers, and a special 9-round cable also directs power to the electronic device to which it is connected if necessary.
Another unique advantage that the firewire® 800 has over USB architecture is that it is backward compatible. This means that connected to the firewire® 800port firewire® 400 can still transmit data at 800 Mbps. However, USB 2.0 architecture will drop to USB 1.0 architecture speed if USB 2.0 and USB 1.0 ports are connected by cable. KabeHowever, LU on both architectures is relatively short, with the effective data transfer limit to FireWire® 800 is a maximum cable length of 15 feet (4.6 meters).
While Port IEEE 1394 for FireWire® 400 or Firewire® 800 is almost as common on personal computers and cameras such as Port USB since 2011, it tends to have more specialized use. Since FireWire® 800 data transfer is approximately twice the USB 2.0 speed, it is commonly used where large files are quickly moved from one device to another. These types of applications include gaming, digital video transfer, and high -speed storage of information in business settings. Firewire® also has the disadvantage that it is not compatible with many other types of high -high video wiring of video transmission used since 2011, for example when using cables with high multimedia interface interface (HDMI).
Firewire® technology has been developed by Apple® in conjunction with work from engineers in other important technologyCH companies like Texas Instruments ™ Incorporeded to the USA and Sony® Corporation in Japan. Because of this joint effort, these companies also have their own brands for this technology, with Texas Instruments ™ to refer to Firewire® ports as LYNX® and refer to Sony as I.Link ™. Port FireWire® 800 can also be commonly referred to as IEEE 1394, only 1394 or as a digital video port (DV). Other devices may be completely missing the designation where Firewire® is present, and instead use a Y -shaped diagram to indicate that the port is really the firewire® interface.
