Sony quickly recognized the advantages

of the IEEE 1394 standard that include

high data transfer rates, scalability, real-

time data processing, simple connec-

tions, and low cost. Thus Sony was one

of the first companies to begin

developing LSI products to support this

standard. Following the DVC LSI

developed last year, Sony has added

three types of LSI to this product line,

LSIs for personal computers, LSIs for

D-STB and D-VHS, and LSIs for hard

disk drives, CD-ROM, and DVD-ROM.

These products greatly expand the range

for connecting audio and video equip-

ment to personal computers.

IEEE 1394 Standard

The IEEE 1394 standard defines a

serial interface that can respond to the

needs of the multimedia age and can

directly connect personal computers and

their peripherals to digital audio and

video equipment such as digital video

cassette recorders (DVC) and set top

boxes (STB). (See figures 1 and 2.)

IEEE 1394 was originally developed by

Apple Computer and other companies

as a computer interface to replace SCSI.

As such, its features include

bidirectionality, high data transfer rates,

isochronous data transfers, a miniature

and flexible cable, hot plug ability (the

ability to connect or disconnect equip-

ment with the power on), and the

ability to connect devices that require

audio, video, and control signals over a

single cable. In 1995, Sony, having

quickly realized the importance of these

features, released the DCR-VX1000

DVC camcorder, the first commercial

product to feature an IEEE 1394 inter-

face. While the IEEE 1394 interface has

now been formulated as the IEEE 1394-

1995 standard, it is hoped that this stan-

dard will become both the basis of home

networking and a replacement for the

PCI and IDE busses in personal

computers. Currently, there are several

working groups actively discussing ex-

tensions to IEEE 1394, including the

IEEE 1394a and IEEE 1394b working

groups. Sony is taking an active leader-

ship role in these standards activities and

is committed to creating LSI and end

products based on this standard as soon

as possible.
