What is 1394?
The 1394 digital line standard was conceived in 1986 and the specification for this link was adopted in
1995 as the IEEE 1394 standard by technologists at Apple Computer who chose the "FireWire" as its
trademark and is also known as "iLink" or "iLink 1394" by Sony Corp. The IEEE 1394 multimedia
connection features hot swapping, high-speed performance, peer to peer communication and daisy
chained which can accept up to 63 devices connected simultaneously. The idea of IEEE 1394 standard is
all other devices and peripherals that connected outside of PC can simple plug into 1394 port instead of
opening case and adding a circuit board. IEEE 1394 standard is an important enabling technology for the
emerging multimedia market. For more information please visit 1394 Trade Association:
