PCIe-liitäntäkortti Dawicontrol DC-1394

The Dawicontrol DC-1394 PCIe Interface Card provides a wired high-speed connection designed for digital audio, video and data devices that use the IEEE 1394 protocol. Installed in a PCIe slot, the card supports a maximum data transfer rate of 400 Mbit/s and integrates with legacy Microsoft Windows versions including Windows 2000, XP, Vista and Server 2003. The adapter is intended to expand a desktop system's connectivity with a standard 1394 port while maintaining stable throughput for real-time streams and device control.

Advantages

This PCIe interface card delivers a dedicated host interface (PCIe) for stable bus access and consistent 400 Mbit/s throughput. Compatibility with several historical Windows releases allows integration with older hardware and software that require IEEE 1394 connectivity. The compact form factor and single-slot installation minimize space usage inside the chassis while adding a standard 1394 port.

Suitable for

• Connecting IEEE 1394 (FireWire) audio interfaces and digital mixers
• Transferring video from legacy DV camcorders and editing systems
• Data acquisition devices and instrumentation that use 1394 links
• Systems requiring a dedicated PCIe 1394 expansion port for device control

Key specifications

• Host interface: PCIe
• Protocol: IEEE 1394 (FireWire)
• Maximum data transfer rate: 400 Mbit/s
• Form factor: single-slot expansion card for desktop PCs
• Operating system support: Microsoft Windows 2000 / XP / Vista / Server 2003

How to use

Power down the computer and open the case following anti-static precautions. Insert the Dawicontrol DC-1394 card into an available PCIe slot and secure it to the chassis. Reassemble the computer, power it on and install any required drivers compatible with your Windows version. After driver installation the 1394 port is available for connecting compliant devices such as DV camcorders, audio interfaces or measurement equipment. Use device manager to verify the card is detected and functioning correctly.

Recommendations

For reliable transfer rates, use high-quality 1394 cables and keep cable runs within recommended lengths for 400 Mbit/s operation. When connecting multiple devices, ensure proper bus termination and verify driver compatibility with your specific Windows version and application software.
