IEEE 1394 is an interface standard for a serial bus for high-speed communications and isochronous real-time data transfer. It was developed in the late 1980s and early 1990s by Apple in cooperation with a number of companies, primarily Sony and Panasonic.

Thunderbolt is the brand name of a hardware interface for the connection of external peripherals to a computer.It was developed by Intel in collaboration with Apple. [7] [8] It was initially marketed under the name Light Peak, and first sold as part of an end-user product on 24 February 2011.
While interfaces such as Ethernet, FireWire, and USB also send data as a serial stream, the term serial port usually denotes hardware compliant with RS-232 or a related standard, such as RS-485 or RS-422. Modern consumer personal computers (PCs) have largely replaced serial ports with higher-speed standards, primarily USB.
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 .
An IEEE 1284 36-pin female on a circuit board. In the 1970s, Centronics developed the now-familiar printer parallel port that soon became a de facto standard.Centronics had introduced the first successful low-cost seven-wire print head [citation needed], which used a series of solenoids to pull the individual metal pins to strike a ribbon and the paper.
MIL-STD-1394 and MIL-STD-1394B are often confused as being variants of IEEE 1394b, otherwise known as FireWire. This confusion is exacerbated by the fact that industry standard SAE AS5643, an aerospace implementation of IEEE 1394b, is also referred to as "MIL1394".
The ADAT Lightpipe, officially the ADAT Optical Interface, is a standard for the transfer of digital audio between equipment. It was originally developed by Alesis but has since become widely accepted, [1] with many third party hardware manufacturers including Lightpipe interfaces on their equipment.
