Using the Avid Adrenaline

1394 Requirements
The rear of the Avid Adrenaline has two 1394 connectors. The 6-pin connector
is used to connect the Avid Adrenaline to the system. The 4-pin connector is
used for connecting cameras, decks or other video devices for input or output.
For connector locations see,
“SD Video I/O Board Connectors” on page 11 .

Macintosh systems more commonly use the term FireWire, where Windows
systems use the IEEE term of 1394.
n
The multiple FireWire connectors on Macintosh systems are on the same bus.
You must install a separate 1394 board in Macintosh and Windows systems if
you want to attach 1394 drives.
Cable
The IEEE 1394 cabling standard requires that IEEE 1394 (FireWire) devices
be within 14.76 ft (4.5 m) of the next bus connector. When connecting a
FireWire device (drive, camera, or deck), your FireWire cable must not exceed
this length. Avid products do not support the use of IEEE 1394 (FireWire)
repeaters to boost or extend the signal to the device.
In addition, Avid does not support any type of cable extender or FireWire hub
between the Avid editing system connection and the Avid Adrenaline or the
Avid Mojo
™
. If the Avid editing system does not sense a direct connection to
the Avid Adrenaline or the Avid Mojo, the Avid product enters a non-
operating mode.
Devices
1394 (FireWire) decks and cameras that are connected to the Avid Adrenaline
must be turned on
after the Avid Adrenaline. Avid recommends you turn on
your Avid editing system and start the Avid editing application as follows:
To turn on an Avid editing system with a FireWire device:
1. Turn on the system.
2. Turn on the Avid Adrenaline.
3. Turn on the 1394 (FireWire) device.
