Firewire (IEEE1394) 350K pixels CCD PC Camera - CF-2000

The CF-2000 incorporates the state of the art Firewire technology that provides streaming video solution to eager users who are looking for speed, quality, and power. The video quality of the CF-2000 keeps other CCD cameras in awe with its Sony 350K pixels CCD sensor. You achieve 30 frames per second at VGA (640x480) resolution with its Firwire interface that is undoubtedly the fastest in the world.

What is Firewire?

IEEE1394 (Firewire) is a high speed serial input/output (I/O) technology for connecting peripherals to a computer. Originally developed by Apple, Firewire is now an official industry standard. IEEE1394 provides the highway that allows data-intensive digial peripherals to interact in new and innovative ways. It is a small, durable and flexible cable and cable connectors taht provide real-time transmission of data and peer-to-peer communication. IEEE1394 (Firewire) is like Universal Serial Bus (USB) in many ways, and the two technologies coexist on PC and Macintosh systems.

The IEEE1394 (Firewire) serial bus is:

  1. a single plug-and-socket connection on which up to 63 devices can be attached

    2.
  2. fast, with a high speed data transfer rate of 100, 200, and 400 Megabits per second. Its maximum bandwidth is nearly 30 times faster than USB 1.1
  3. a peer-to-peer technology, meaning two or more computers can share the same Firewire video camera or scanner when they are "daisy chained" on the Firewire bus

    4.
  4. hot pluggable, meaning users don't have to turn off or restart the computer when attaching a new peripheral

    5.
  5. physically small

    6.
  6. inexpensive

    7.
  7. easy to use, meaning it has the ability to chain devices together in a number of different ways without terminators or complicated set-up requirements

What are IEEE1394 (Firewire) PC Cameras?

Because IEEE1394 (Firewire) PC cameras use digital technology, they produce clean, crisp video that makes older analog formats pale in comparison. In addition, because they capture video as digital data, you can bring that video directly into your PC or Macintosh computer over a Firewire connection as a perfect digital copy, with no conversion losses or dropped frames. AME Group's CF-2000 PC cameras are one of the first IEEE1394 (Firewire) PC cameras in the market.
