FireWire

Originally developed by Apple, FireWire is now an official industry standard (IEEE -1394).  FireWire is a cross-platform implementation of the high-speed serial data bus, defined by IEEE Standard 1394-1995,  that can move large amounts of data between computers and peripheral devices.  

FireWire is one of the fastest peripheral standard ever developed, which makes it great for use with multimedia peripherals such as video camcorders.  The digital format provides a perfect copy of the original video, with no dropped frames or conversion losses.  

Digital camcorders, whose internal electronics are all digital, store the incoming audio and video on tape in a digital format rather than in an analog format such as High 8.  Digital format produces full-size, full-motion video of 720 by 480 pixels at 30 frames per second. With FireWire, bringing Digital format into a computer is nothing more than a simple file transfer between the camera and the computer at 3.5 mb per second.
