CONNECTORS EXPLAINED:

IEEE 1394 (Firewire)

 

An interface standard adopted by the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers for very fast (400 megabits per second) digital data transfer, especially of streaming video. Also called FireWire (Apple Computer's trademarked name) and i.Link. In A/V applications, tiny but robust 1394 connectors have so far been used mostly for digital camcorder outputs, but they will become extremely important in computer controlled home entertainment or communication or appliance networks.
