IEEE-1394 Firewire FAQ
What is a IEEE 1394 FireWire port used for?
IEEE 1394 FireWire ports were commonly used for connecting digital video cameras, external hard drives, and other high-bandwidth peripherals to computers. The FireWire standard provided fast and reliable data transfer rates, making it ideal for applications like professional video editing and real-time video transmissions. It was also frequently used to connect electronic devices in automobiles, such as DVD players, stereo sound systems, and GPS navigators.
Is FireWire still being used?
While FireWire was widely adopted in the past, its usage has declined significantly in recent years. Steve Jobs declared FireWire dead in 2008, and as of 2012, there were few devices still utilizing the IEEE 1394 standard, with a Sony camera being one of the notable exceptions. The rise of faster and more versatile standards like USB-C and Thunderbolt has largely replaced the need for FireWire in modern computing.
What is the IEEE 1394 standard for?
IEEE 1394, also known as FireWire, i.Link, and Lynx, is a set of standards that specify a serial bus for transferring information. It was designed to provide a high-speed, bidirectional data transfer interface for connecting various devices, such as digital cameras, external storage, and multimedia peripherals, to computers and other compatible devices.
Is 1394 the same as FireWire?
Yes, IEEE-1394 and FireWire refer to the same communication technology. FireWire was the name given by Apple when they developed the technology in the early 1990s, around the same time as USB. The original IEEE-1394 standard is known as FireWire, IEEE-1394a, DV, or i.Link (Sony's implementation of the standard).
What is the difference between USB and IEEE 1394?
The main differences between USB and IEEE 1394 FireWire include:
- Speed: FireWire 400 (IEEE 1394a) has a maximum speed of 400Mbps, while USB 2.0 has a maximum speed of 480Mbps. However, USB 3.0 and USB 3.1 have faster speeds than FireWire 400, with maximum speeds of up to 5Gbps and 10Gbps, respectively.
- Data Transfer: FireWire streams data, resulting in more stable synchronization and performance, while USB transfers data in packets.
- Power Delivery: USB can provide power to connected devices, while FireWire cannot.
Can I connect FireWire to USB?
No, it is not possible to directly connect a FireWire interface to a USB port on your computer using an adapter. The connection is not sufficient to run a FireWire audio interface or other FireWire devices through a USB port. However, you can use a hub with separate FireWire and USB ports to connect devices compatible with both technologies.
