3.2 FireWire Compliance
The VS-30FW is based on FireWire which:
• Is a serial bus standard that enables quick universal interfacing between
video and computer hardware items
• Is simple to use and operates independently of the host system, letting you
connect more items than you otherwise could (as a computer only has limited
ports available), and for extended distances. Several can be cascaded to
create up to a 63 port FireWire Repeater / HUB
In particular, the VS-30FW:
• Fully supports the provisions of the IEEE P1394b Revision 1.33+ at 1-Gigabit
signaling rates
• Fully supports the provisions of the IEEE 1394-1995 Standard for High
Performance Serial Bus and the P1394a Supplement
• Is fully interoperable with FireWire™ and i.LINK™ implementation of IEEE
Std 1394
• Provides three fully backward compatible (1394a-2000 fully compliant)
bilingual P1394b cable ports at up to 800 Megabits per second (Mbits/s)
• Is fully compliant with OpenHCI requirements
• Provides P1394a Fully Compliant Cable Ports at 100/200/400 Megabits per
Second (Mbits/s)
• Includes full P1394a support, that is, Connection Debounce, Arbitrated Short
Reset, Multispeed Concatenation, Arbitration Acceleration, Fly-By
Concatenation, Port Disable/Suspend/Resume
• Includes Extended Resume Signaling for Compatibility with Legacy DV
