FireWire 800 PCI Card:  ADS API-811

ADS FireWire 800 PCI Card

• Upgrade your PC or MAC to FireWire 800/1394b
• 2 external and 1 internal FireWire 800/1394b ports
• Transfer data at up to 800 Mbps with FireWire 800/1394b
• True 64 Bit PCI Interface card

You can now double the speed of your FireWire connection to 800 Mbps with the ADS PYRO 1394b PCI Card.   The PYRO 1394b card offers you twice as much speed as 1394a cards and makes this the card of choice for high speed storage and video capture solutions. 

More Efficient: FireWire 800/1394b reduces data delays on the bus and reduces signal distortion for increased throughput.  Rely on Real Time Delivery - critical for audio and video applications where dropped or out of order frames are unacceptable. 

Easier to Use:  No matter how you connect 1394 devices together, they just work!  You can daisy chain drives together, connect FireWire 400/1394a devices to FireWire 800/1394b devices, really Plug and Play!  Connect up to 63 devices - you can even share a camera between 2 Mac's or create a peer to peer network with two Windows XP machines.
