Open Host Controller Interface (OHCI) [1] is an open standard.. Die shot of a VIA VT6307 Integrated Host Controller used for IEEE 1394A communication. When applied to an IEEE 1394 (also known as FireWire; i.LINK or Lynx) card, OHCI means that the card supports a standard interface to the PC and can be used by the OHCI IEEE 1394 drivers that come with all modern operating systems.
The 6-conductor and 4-conductor alpha FireWire 400 socket A 9-pin FireWire 800 connector The alternative Ethernet-style cabling used by 1394c 4-conductor (left) and 6-conductor (right) FireWire 400 alpha connectors A PCI expansion card that contains four FireWire 400 connectors. FireWire is Apple's name for the IEEE 1394 High Speed Serial Bus.
The most significant technical differences between FireWire and USB include: USB networks use a tiered-star topology, while IEEE 1394 networks use a tree topology. USB 1.0, 1.1, and 2.0 use a "speak-when-spoken-to" protocol, meaning that each peripheral communicates with the host when the host specifically requests communication.
The P&D connector shares the 30-pin plus quad-coax layout of EVC, which carries digital video, analog video, and data over Universal Serial Bus (USB) and IEEE 1394 (FireWire). At a minimum, the P&D connector is required to carry digital video, in which case the connector is designated P&D-D; when both digital and analog video are included, the ...
The Serial Bus Protocol 2 (SBP-2) standard is a transport protocol within the Serial Bus, IEEE Std 1394-1995 (also known as FireWire or i.Link), developed by T10. [1] Original work on Serial Bus Protocol started as an attempt to adapt SCSI to IEEE Std 1394-1995 serial interface. Later on it was recognized that SBP-2 may have a more general use ...
IEEE 1394 (FireWire) PCI, Mini PCI; PCI Express, Mini PCI Express, Thunderbolt; PCMCIA, PC Card, ExpressCard; SATA, Serial Attached SCSI; USB; DVI, HDMI; For most of these interfaces, very little technical information is available to the end user about the performance of the interface.
On a desktop computer the port is simply a connector, usually mounted on a bracket at the back accessible from outside the machine, connected to motherboard sources of SATA, USB, and power at 5 V and 12 V. No change is required to drivers, registry or BIOS settings and the USB support is independent of the SATA connection. [citation needed]
i.Link is Sony's name for IEEE 1394; the port is compatible with 4 pin FireWire cables, and is unpowered. 6 pin firewire cables will need an adapter. The i.Link port on the docking station additionally has a power jack next to the 4 pin jack, used only for Sony compatible CD and DVD drives.
