What is firewire®?

FireWire® is a brand for high -speed IEEE 1394 series developed and sold by Apple, Inc. The idea of ​​firewire® was first conceived at the age of 80. Development in technology until the beginning of the 90s led to the official introduction of equipment in 1995. Along with important Apple posts, companies as IBM, Sony and Texas Instruments were also actively involved in a working group that developed the final product. Work on the facility continued for several years before it was introduced to the public.

Firewire® is now firmly based in the field and is used with a range of products. One of the first applications was to add Port Firewire® to digital camcorders. This improvement has helped increase the quality of recording captured images and video to computer system and desktops. Today, this FireWire® application is considered standard.

While Firewire®It is a brand used for Apple, Sony has also introduced a similar type of USB or universal serial bus under the I.Link ™ brand. When the application began to move beyond use with camcorders and other forms of electronic data transmission, both products continued to undergo improvements that make the use of devices more versatile than ever.

Today, the use of firewire® and I.Link ™ with many different devices are used. Digital camcorders are a common example. Many of the temporary data storage devices, such as Jump Drive, use firewire® technology for quick recording, storage and possible transmission of various data and media. The fact that firewire® does not have to use a computer system to capture and store data makes it particularly effective for people on the go. For example, images captured on a digital camera today can be downloaded directly to the printer, without neededSTI use a notebook or desktop computer as a connecting device to process image printing.
