Compatibility Between 1394A And 1394B - AVT Pike Technical Manual

FireWire
1394b port
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
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
