What is a FireWire on a camera?
FireWire cameras use the IEEE 1394 bus standard for the transmission of audio, video and control data. FireWire is Apple Computer’s trademark for the IEEE 1394 standard. FireWire cameras are available in the form of photo cameras and video cameras, which provide image and audio data.
What is a FireWire connection used for?
FireWire, also called IEEE 1394 or i. LINK, high-speed computer data-transfer interface that was used to connect personal computers, audio and video devices, and other professional and consumer electronics.
Is FireWire 800 a 9 pin?
9-pin connectors are part of a recent improvement to the IEEE-1394 technology, called FireWire 800 (or IEEE-1394b). The improvement to the specification allows transfer of data at up to twice the speed of the original IEEE-1394 standard. This type of connector is commonly found on Apple® computers.
Is FireWire trademarked?
DALLAS and CUPERTINO, California—May 29, 2002—The 1394 Trade Association (TA) and Apple® today announced that the FireWire® trademark, logo and symbol have been adopted as a brand identity for the IEEE 1394 connection standard in a no-fee license agreement between the TA and Apple.
What is histogram in photography?
A histogram is a graphical representation of the tonal values of your image. In other words, it shows the amount of tones of particular brightness found in your photograph ranging from black (0% brightness) to white (100% brightness).
Is FireWire compatible with Thunderbolt?
Easily connect your Thunderbolt-equipped Mac to a FireWire device with the Apple Thunderbolt to FireWire Adapter. Small and compact, it connects to the Thunderbolt port on your Mac computer, giving you a FireWire 800 port that supplies up to 7W for bus-powered peripherals like hard drives and audio devices.
Are there any video cameras that use FireWire?
Firewire video cameras range from inexpensive consumer devices to advanced professional units. A variety of FireWire® video capture devices are available for purchase. These include cameras with FireWire® connectors and FireWire® video interfaces, which are also called digital video converters.
What kind of connection do I need for FireWire?
When selecting a device for FireWire® video capture, it is important to consider the type of connection — FireWire® 400 or FireWire® 800 — that the device provides. The device that is being used for FireWire® video capture should provide a connection that is compatible with the computer.
What kind of cameras do Apple computers use?
FireWire is Apple Computer’s trademark for the IEEE 1394 standard. FireWire cameras are available in the form of photo cameras and video cameras, which provide image and audio data. A special form of video cameras is used in the domains of industry, medicine, astronomy, microscopy and science.
What’s the difference between a FireWire and USB connection?
FireWire transfers data as a steady stream, while a USB connection transfers data as packets and thus they are not compatible. While there are Firewire to USB hubs (not adapters as shown below), these are more expensive than a FireWire card for your computer and some users have complained that the hubs are problematic.
