Compatibility between 1394a and 1394b
1394a camera connected to 1394b bus
The cable explains dual compatibility: This
cable serves to connect an IEEE 1394a camera
with its six-pin connector to a bilingual port (a
port which can talk in a- or b-language) of a
1394b bus.
In this case the b-bus communicates in a-
language and a-speed with the camera
achieving
a-performance
1394b camera connected to 1394a bus
The cable explains dual compatibility: In this
case, the cable connects an IEEE 1394b camera
with its nine-pin connector to a 1394a port.
In this case the b-camera communicates in
a-language with the camera achieving
a-performance
