ieee 1394 port;

An IEEE 1394 port is also known as a FireWire. It is a component originated from Apple which allows connection of peripherals to a computer, such as video cameras. IEEE 1394 ports are like USB ports which are entry points for devices that you want to connect to your computer.

It allows you to get feeds from a high-resolution video camera onto a computer without experiencing issues. It also functions through peer-to-peer network, which means that devices can connect and 'talk' to each other without needing a computer. Because of this, today they have become a standard for high-bandwidth devices.
