not merely one of semantics but a vital distinction when understanding the
concept of FireWire Branch/Leaf technology
With a regular In and Out switcher, not only does the front panel have

3.3.3 Configuring as a FireWire Hub
The VS-66FW is a 6 Port FireWire Switcher, which—due to its Branch/Leaf
design—can also be configured as a FireWire hub.
3.3.3.1 Configuring as a 2x2 Port FireWire Hub
The example in Figure 1 illustrates a 2x2 FireWire hub in which the
bi-directional signals flow separately between Port 1 and Port 4, and Port 5
and Port 6, simultaneously.
