IIDCVideoAssistant(8) BSD System Manager's Manual IIDCVideoAssistant(8)NAME
IIDCVideoAssistant -- CoreMediaIO DAL Assistant Process.
DESCRIPTION
IIDCVideoAssistant is used by the CoreMediaIO Device Abstraction Layer Plug-In that provides video capture from external Apple FireWire (IEEE
1394) iSight cameras and third-party FireWire IIDC-class cameras using AVFoundation Capture APIs. The process allows multiple applications
to simultaneously capture from the same camera.

ieee1394, firewire - Solaris IEEE-1394 Architecture
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.
