1394 Support
When you are using an Avid Adrenaline and you want to use 1394 (FireWire)
drives, you need a second 1394 OHCI board on a different bus segment in your
Avid editing system. See your computer manufacturer’s documentation to
identify a PCI bus slot that is on a different bus segment than the 1394 port
used for the Avid Adrenaline.
n
If you use a 1394 board in slots 3, 4, or 5 (PCI-X slots) in the xw8000 it must
be a “universal” PCI card and not a +5V-only board.
To determine the supported 1394 boards, go to
. Click your
product line (for example, Broadcast or Video Editing) and then click your
Avid application.
