This 1394 card has high performance Serial Bus based on IEEE
1394 chipset. It provides a high-performance IEEE 1394-1995 interface with the
capability to transfer data between the 1394 phy-link interface, the PCI bus
interface, and external devices connected to the local bus interface. The IEEE
supported 1394 standard was born out of a need for a flexible and
cost-effective way to share real-time information among data-intensive
applications such as digital camcorders, digital VCRs, and digital video disks(DVD).
As an all-digital interface, 1394 was first used in digital cameras to replace
existing analog transmission interfaces that significantly degrade the quality
of the output picture. We use brands interchangeably for this item. Retail box.
