Description
PCMCIA PC CardBusto FireWire host adapters allow addition of
FireWire
to
PCMCIA PC CardBus
equipped notebook and desktop computers. One of the fastest and most versatile bus standards ever devised,
FireWire
(aka i.LINK and IEEE 1394) makes a powerful addition to any computer. Used by most DV25, DV50 and other DV Camcorders, FireWire's ability to guarantee bandwidth and isosynchronous mode makes it a favorite connectivity standard among video professionals.
FireWire
provides performance for high-bandwidth applications including mass storage devices like hard drives. FireWire allows connections of up to 63 devices, is "hot pluggable," easy to use, and doesn't suffer from the latency and CPU burden issues exhibited by USB 2.0. In real world use
FireWire 400
outperforms USB 2.0 in bandwidth intensive applications.
FireWire 800
(IEEE 1394b) effectively doubles the bandwidth of
FireWire
to 800Mbps over copper.
