Firewire technology
Firewire® technology at a glance What is Firewire technology? Firewire (IEEE 1394A) is one of the fastest data transfer standards ever developed. Originally conceived by Apple Computers for digital video streaming, FireWire® is the de facto industry standard for multimedia peripherals such as digital video cameras. It features simplified cabling, hot plus and play, and unsurpassed image transfer speed.
Digitalizing the camera signal in the Concept® IV FWT docking station and passing it to the cmputer via the FireWire connection eliminates the need for a traditional video capture card that typically degrades the video signal when converting it from analog to digital. The direct-digital FireWire connection delivers the highest level of clarity and picture quality that makes it great for use with the Concept® IV camera. Firewire is a registered trademark of Apple Inc.
