WHITE PAPERS FROM THE 1394 TRADE ASSOCIATIONThis document provides guidelines for implementing FireWire (IEEE 1394) ports on both high level complex devices such as personal computers and simple devices such as inexpensive consumer electronics products. The guide includes references to normative specifications as well as full reference designs that can be used as is or, with the careful consideration of the trade-offs, as a starting point for a more optimized design. Of Windmills and Recording Studios, by Burke Henehan Windmills are pleasing to the eye, but the size, violence, and expense of these mega-machines make them even more impressive. They are standalone power plants, 40 to 80 meters above the ground, costing more than a $1 million USD each with 20+ year life spans, meaning they require maintenance. This article describes the need for a machine monitoring system in wind turbines, how the requirements for a music studio network are similar to a wind turbine’s machine monitoring system, and how a FireWireTM music studio networking system has been used to create a condition based maintenance system for wind turbines. FireWire Security Imaging, by Burke Henehan FireWire™ is not merely the fastest network for connecting your external hard drive and other peripherals – it is also the most environmentally friendly. Using Power over FireWire, you can not only reduce your energy usage, you can eliminate the cost and toxic waste that comes from the production and disposal of millions of external power supplies or “wall warts." Read More The Best Future Proof Solution to a Vehicle Network Design – Using the 1394 Automotive Standard In today’s economy -- where R&D investments are difficult to justify and long life cycles for electronic technologies are mandated -- the 1394 Automotive network offers an excellent solution for all in-vehicle electronic applications. Whether your platform is an entry level or a luxury model, the same technology is shared and is expandable -- even at the dealer level. The 1394 Automotive technology was developed by automakers and Tier 1 and component companies with baseline requirements for today’s automobile; and it meets the requirements expected over the next 10 years. Read More Home Entertainment Networks and Flying Cars Today’s entertainment networks are reminiscent of the flying cars we have been promised for years but only see in magazines or demonstrations. They are typically cobbled together from parts that require professionals to assemble and maintain, are expensive, and both have a tendency to crash when operated by someone with inadequate training. This white paper provides an in-depth look at the new 1394 specification that addresses these issues with a sophisticated, cost-effective, and secure solution. IEEE1394: versatility, performance, security, flexibility The advent of digital representations of all media types has fundamentally changed the way consumers use electronic products and blurred the distinction between computers and consumer electronics. Today, consumers demand products that interoperate whether a device lives in the office or the living room. Interoperability mandates a versatile interconnect. Too often, consumers must rely on multiple links – a situation that’s inconvenient, often offers sub-par performance, and hampers the user experience. IEEE 1394 (also known as FireWire™ (and the terms are used interchangeably throughout this document) remains the single best interconnect across the range of computer, data storage, consumer electronic, and service-provider supplied products in terms of performance and versatility. This paper provides a complete review of these features, including the results of recent benchmark tests and a heads-up about the future of 1394 and related products. Simply POF: High-End Connectivity with Plastic Optical Fiber Plastic Optic Fiber, or POF as it is widely known, offers affordable, high-end connectivity for office and home networks. With speeds of 250 Mbps (and Gigabit just around the corner), POF is a superior alternative to copper used in traditional networks. The 1394b high performance serial bus offers outstanding features to meet the demands of a multiple purpose network. Simply POF provides a complete review of these features and their implementation.
