Abstract

Its official name is IEEE 1394. It is also called FireWire^TM (by Apple) and i.LINK^TM (by Sony who has licensed this name to several other companies). It was created in the late 1980s as a digital technology designed to satisfy the ever-increasing demand for communications bandwidth for video. It was also designed to simplify and reduce the number of cables and connectors between devices. Simple one-cable connectivity has become a necessity brought about by miniaturization and increasing device functionality as ports have reduced in size and number. The IEEE 1394 high performance serial bus has already found its way into consumer products and one day probably will link every digital appliance in the house: TV, DVR, camcorder, hi-fi stereo, computers and peripherals. Now it's poised to make the same impact in the industrial/scientific imaging world.
