av1394(7D)av1394(7D)NAME
av1394 - 1394 audio/video driver
SYNOPSIS
unit@GUID
The av1394 driver is an IEEE 1394 compliant target driver that supports the IEC 61883 Consumer Audio/Video Equipment - Digital Interface
standard. The driver is used to receive and transmit isochronous data streams in the common isochronous packet (CIP) format, as well as
asynchronous function control protocol (FCP) frames. The driver also supports connection management procedures (CMP).

ieee1394, firewire, 1394 - Solaris IEEE-1394 Architecture
DESCRIPTION
IEEE-1394 provides a means for interconnecting devices in computer and home entertainment systems. (The IEEE-1394 architecture is also
known as Firewire, an Apple Computer trademark, and i.Link, a Sony trademark). The most common IEEE-1394 devices are digital camcorders,
mass-storage devices and cameras (including webcam-type devices). For more information on USB, refer to the 1394 Trade Association website
at http://www.1394ta.org.
The Solaris IEEE-1394 architecture supports up to 63 hot-pluggable IEEE-1394 devices per IEEE-1394 bus. The maximum data transfer rate is
400 Mbits, depending on the capabilities of the attached device.
The Solaris IEEE-1394 architecture supports devices implementing a number of different specifications. The basic behavior of the IEEE-1394
bus is described in the IEEE 1394-1995 and IEEE 1394a-2000 specifications.
IEEE-1394 host controllers implementing the 1394 Open Host Controller Interface specification are supported. Camcorders implementing
the IEC 61883 and 1394 Trade Association AV/C specifications are supported. Mass-storage devices implementing the ANSI SBP-2 specification
are supported. Digital cameras implementing the 1394 Trade Association 1394-based Digital Camera (IIDC) specification are supported.
FILES
Listed below are drivers and modules which either utilize or are utilized by the Solaris IEEE-1394 architecture. Drivers in /kernel/drv are
32 bit drivers (only). Drivers in /kernel/drv/sparcv9 or /kernel/drv/amd64 are 64 bit drivers.
