The FireSpeed2000 is a high performance Controller providing 3 serial ports conforming to the
IEEE-1394 / 1394a OHCI specification - popularly known as FireWire. The FireSpeed2000 provides
an ideal interface for attaching high speed video, audio and storage peripherals to an embedded
system. Automatic detection and configuration of devices (without the need for on-board jumpers)
ensures robust system operations and high reliability. The FireSpeed2000 provides a distinct
advantage over other communications and interfacing controllers by allowing multiple devices to be
attached simultaneously on the high serial bus. Three serial ports are provided enabling up to 63
devices to be connected with cable lengths of over 4M. The FireSpeed2000 is supported by a suite
of drivers for Windows 2000/XP/XP-Embedded and Linux. The FireSpeed2000 is an ideal solution for
solid-state video recording, machine vision, digital image capture and processing and hot-pluggable
storage peripheral interfacing.
