(1) Digital interface: data can be transmitted in digital form and do not need digital-analog converter, so IEEE 1394 firewire connector reduces the complexity of the equipment to ensure the quality of signal;
(2) "Hot swap": IEEE 1394 firewire connector devices can be inserted or removed when the system is working at full speed. Users will find that adding anIEEE 1394 firewire connector device as easy as the power cord into the electrical outlet ;
(3) Plug and Play: No Set ID (identifier) or the terminal load, the master node can be dynamically determined;
(4) Bus structure: IEEE 1394 firewire connector uses the structure of a read / write mapping instead of sending data according to the IEEE1212 standard specifies addressing mode. There are detailed provisions of IEEE 1394 firewire connector for external cables and backplanes technical specifications;
(5) Equal Interface devicer (peer-to-peer), master and slave devices are all leaders and service providers. They have enough intelligence to connect but without additional control. IEEE 1394firewire connector can transfer the data between two cameras without through the computer, and allows multiple computers to share a video camera;
(6) Small physical size, low cost, easy to install;
(7) Non-proprietary: Using IEEE 1394 firewire connector serial bus do not exist the issues of patent;
(8) Low cost: it is suitable for household electrical appliances. The reduction price of IEEE 1394 firewire connector is partly because of transmissing achieve the data through serial bus which uses a simplified design of electronic circuits and cables. As standard chipset, the sending and receiving device can handle addressing, initialization, arbitration and agreements.
