Lesson - 21:: Serial Bus Communication Protocols - Firewire Ieee 1394 Bus Standards For Multimedia Streaming Devices

The document discusses the FireWire (IEEE 1394) serial bus standard. FireWire supports data transfer rates of up to 400 Mbps for IEEE 1394a and 800 Mbps for 1394b. It uses isosynchronous serial communication and can reliably transfer data and multimedia between connected devices in real-time. Common applications of FireWire buses include digital video cameras, camcorders, DVD players, set-top boxes, hard drives, and other multimedia devices. FireWire buses can connect up to 63 devices and support hot-plugging and either bus or self-powered devices.
