Eminent 3-Ports PCI FireWire Card 800Mbps interface cards/adapter

3-Ports PCI FireWire Card 800Mbps FireWire 800 is the next generation of FireWire technology. It supports the IEEE-1394b High Performance Serial Bus standard and supports transfer speeds up to 800 Mbps/s.

Device distances can now be up to 100 meters through the use of special cables. It supports all other FireWire peripherals such as disk drives, ultra high-resolution scanners, printers and digital still cameras.

The FireWire 800 products function at the maximum IEEE-1394b rated speed of 800 megabits/second (100megabytes/sec). The FireWire 800 products are fully backward compatible with S100, S200 and S400 rated 1394 devices. It allows up to 63 devices to be connected in a chain through its standard 6-pin and 9-pin ports. It can be used with third party video editing software to capture, edit and export full size, full motion DV video at 720 by 480 pixels at 30 frames per second. FireWire 800 can also be used in a workgroup network environment at close to 1000BASE-T speeds.

The IEEE1394 multimedia connection (also known as Fire Wire by Apple Computer, and iLink by Sony) features hot swapping, high-speed performance, peer to peer communication and daisy chained which can accept up to 63 devices connected simultaneously.
