What Is an IEEE 1394 Port?
IEEE 1394, also known as FireWire, is a component originated from Apple which, like USB, allows the connection of peripherals to a computer, such as video cameras. However, there is one distinct difference: IEEE 1394 supports much higher bandwidth than USB, allowing you to get feed from a high-resolution video camera onto a computer without experiencing issues. Today, IEEE 1394 has become a computing standard for high-bandwidth devices.
