FIREWIRE OVERVIEW
SO WHAT IS IT?
FireWire is in essence a connector on your computer, which allows you to transfer information from one FireWire device to another very quickly.
FireWire was created by a joint effort from Apple, Sony and Panasonic that was standardised in 1995 as IEEE1394. It is also commonly known as iLink on Sony devices and by the IEEE1394 standard.
FireWire was designed in order to assist the fast transfer of digital data - mainly for use in capturing video from a camcorder onto a computer - but also to allow the use of an external digital device such as a hard drive, CD writer or DVD writer at speeds faster than internal devices.
Recently the new FireWIre 800 standard has been launched, with the original FireWire being renamed FireWire 400. FireWire 800 is twice as fast as FireWire 400, assuming a computer that can handle the full speed.

WHY CHOOSE FIREWIRE?
FireWire is a reliable well established transfer protocol which allows you to almost infinitely expand the possibilities of your computer by overcoming the space issues related with internal devices, and yet often beating the high data transfer from internal devices. FireWire 400 can operated at up to 400Mb/s - that\'s transferring 400 megabits of data per second. FireWire 800 can transfer data at up to 900Mb/s
With FireWire connectivity you can import movies on to your computer in minutes as opposed to hours from your digital camcorder, or straight on to your FireWire hard drive you don\'t even need the computer in some cases FireWire allows you to transfer data from your camera to the hard drive anywhere, it is the versatility which make the difference. You can even use FireWire to connect two computers together!
Use your FireWire CD writer to back up your important data, burn music CDs and much much more; or use the DVD-R to create your own presentations, movies and DVDs for use in any DVD player.
FireWire enables you to connect your digital devices in a "plug and play" manner, you don\'t need drivers every time and you can take your FireWire device from one machine to another without having to restart and reset both machines.
FireWire has become the standard means of reliable transfer for professionals and home users alike - in fields such as design and digital video it has become much used and trusted technology that is affordable and understandable by the least technical of people.
FireWire\'s main competitor is USB 2.0, follow the link for the FAQ.

WHAT HARDWARE / SOFTWARE DO I NEED TO USE A FIREWIRE CARD / DEVICE?
In order to add FireWire to your computer you will need to have the following components / specifications. If you are unsure as to your computers details please contact us and we can help you find out! FireWire is standard across computer platforms and devices can run on Macs, PCs and Linux machines.
PC Requirements -
Windows 98 / Windows 98 SE / Windows XP / Windows ME
Pentium II Processor > 400MHz
64MB RAM (for applications such as CD writing)
1 or More FireWire Ports (see below)
If you have a desktop and FireWire is not fitted as standard, you need a PCI FireWire Card
If you have a laptop and FireWire is not fitted as standard, you need a CardBus PCMCIA FireWire Card

ความเห็นเพิ่มเติมที่ 56 4 ม.ค. 2549 (13:46)
Mac requirements -
MacOS 8.6, 9.0.4, 9.1, 9.2, OS X
PowerPC Processor > 180MHz (recommended G3)
32MB RAM
1 or More FireWire Ports (see below)
If you have a desktop and FireWire is not fitted as standard, you need a PCI FireWire Card
If you have a laptop and FireWire is not fitted as standard, you need a CardBus PCMCIA FireWire Card
Please note that FireWire uses the system processor for some tasks, therefore the faster your machine is, the better that FireWire will perform on some tasks - please ask us for more details.

MY COMPUTER DOESN\'T HAVE FIREWIRE, HOW DO I GET FIREWIRE?
That is where we come in! We can supply a FireWire card for both a portable or a desktop computer, which works with both PC and Mac platforms.
If you have a portable computer you need A FireWire CardBus Card: A credit card sized connector that fits into the PCMCIA slot on you computer and has 2 FireWire ports to allow you to connect to FireWire devices. We stock both the Orange Micro Version and the Ratoc version. To see the prices see our FireWire peripherals.
If you have a desktop computer you need a FireWire PCI Card and a PCI slot on your computer, also available from our FireWire peripherals range (please ask us if you are unsure), which gives you either 2 or 3 FireWire ports. Once again we stock both Orange Micro and Ratoc Systems cards.
Both these solutions require little technical knowledge and our technical team can always help you through if you have any problems.

WHAT IS FIREWIRE 800
The newest fastest way to transfer data - Firewire 800
With its high data-transfer speed, FireWire is the interface of choice for today\'s digital audio and video devices, as well as external hard drives and other high-speed peripherals. Now transferring data at up to 800 Mbps, FireWire 800 delivers more than double the effective bandwidth of the USB 2.0 peripheral standard. That means you can send more than a CD\'s worth of data every ten seconds.
FireWire 400 delivers data over cables of up to 4.5 meters in length. Using professional-grade glass optical fibre, FireWire 800 can burst data across 100 meter cables. So you could toss that CD more than the length of a football field ? every ten seconds. What\'s more, you don\'t even have to have a new computer or device to gain the length. As long as both devices are connected to a FireWire 800 hub, you can connect them via super-efficient glass optical cable. That means you could put a camera on the field -connected directly to a Mac in the press box. Or set up a killer digital audio studio with Macs in one room and recording interfaces in another with no latency loss from the extra cable length. The short - about 5 meters - cable distance and the lack of peer-to-peer connectivity of USB 2.0 limits its usefulness in deployments that require long-haul cabling, such as sound stages and studios.

The FireWire 800 advantage can be summed up in three words: speed, speed and more speed - at 800Mbps, it has more than two times the usable bandwidth of USB 2.0, which makes it the perfect choice for high-speed storage and serious video capture. The extra speed of FireWire 800 over USB 2.0 makes FireWire much more suitable for bandwidth-intensive applications like video and graphics, which often consume hundreds or even thousands of megabytes of data per file. For instance, a single hour of DV-format video consumes about 13 thousand megabytes (13 GB). Other benefits include: Highly efficient architecture. IEEE 1394b reduces delays in arbitration, while 8B10B encoding reduces signal distortion and increases throughput.
Better user experience: No matter how you connect devices together, FireWire 800 just works. In fact, you can even loop your FireWire 800 chain back to your Mac for redundancy while performing live.
Backwards compatibility: Manufacturers have adopted FireWire for a broad range of devices, such as DV cameras, hard drives, digital still cameras, professional audio, printers, scanners and home entertainment. Adapter cables for the FireWire 800 9-pin connector let you use these FireWire 400 products on the FireWire 800 port.
Second Chance PC supply an ever growing range of FireWire 800 upgrade cards and devices so that you can take advantage of the new transfer speeds in your new or older machines. As this is a new protocol more devices are coming through thick and fast so make sure you check back! Our current FireWire 800 products can be found on our FireWire page.
