Mac 101: Connect Your Camera
Digital cameras and DV camcorders are popular peripheral devices, and having a Mac makes the results even more enjoyable. With iPhoto, you can make your great shots even more awesome and turn your so-so stuff into something stellar. And instead of subjecting your family and friends to long, drawn-out screenings of your vacation videos and home movies, you can edit your footage in iMovie to make your video more compelling.Of course, you have to import your photos and movies into your Mac first, which brings us to this lesson; learning how to connect your camera to your computer. Lucky for you, it's easy.

NAME

       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.
