FireWire 800 Facts
• FireWire 800 supports speeds up to
800 Mb/sec, twice as fast as FireWire
400.
• If your computer does not have
built-in FireWire 800, you'll need a
PCI card to achieve a true FireWire
800 connection.
• Most 800 ports are Bi-Lingual, which
means they speak both FireWire 400
and FireWire 800.
• If you connect a 400 device to an
800 device, you will be running at
400 speed maximum.
• FireWire is forward-compatible and
back-compatible, but the bus always
runs at the speed of the slowest link.
• Beta cables are used to connect 800
devices to 800 devices.
• Bi-Lingual cables are available to
connect 400 devices to 800 devices.
• Bi-Lingual cables have a 9-pin Bi-
Lingual connector at one end a 4-
pin or 6-pin FireWire 400 connector
at the other end
Compatible with both Mac and PC,
Glyph's FireWire 800 PCI Card allows
super-fast connectivity to your FireWire
devices. With three external FireWire 800
(IEEE 1394b) bilingual ports, you can
connect not only FireWire 800 devices,
but also your
existing FireWire
400 devices.
• Bilingual cables
are also available
from Glyph.
•Card runs at 200,
400 and 800
Mbits/sec.
• Compatible with Mac G4 systems
running OS 10.2.5 or later.
• Compatible with Windows 2000/XP.
• Easy installation, no drivers necessary.
FireWire 800 Optional Accessories
The GT060BR consistantly reaches a read datarate of around 80MB/sec,
plenty of speed and overhead to capture and edit video. A G5 with OS X 10.4
and AJA’s disk test was used for the test setup.
