What is connection wire?

From Wikipedia definition of IEEE 1394 Standard - "The IEEE 1394 interface is a serial bus interface standard for high-speed communications and isochronous real-time data transfer, frequently used by personal computers, as well as in digital audio, digital video, automotive, and aeronautics applications. The interface is also known by the brand names of FireWire(Apple), i.LINK (Sony), and Lynx (Texas Instruments). IEEE 1394 replaced parallel SCSI in many applications, because of lower implementation costs and a simplified, more adaptable cabling system. The 1394 standard also defines a backplane interface, though this is not as widely used."


Which has the highest data transfer rate USB or IEEE 1394?

IEEE1394 or as Apple calls it, "Firewire" can carry more data. And superior to both of these is Thunderbolt also developed by Apple.


How can you record HDTV to mac os x via ieee 1394 interface?

The IEEE 1394 interface was created by Apple and is marketed as FireWire on their computers. In theory you run a FireWire cable from the 1394 connection on your TV to a FireWire socket on your Mac and use some recording software to capture the HDTV signal. In the real world things are never that simple. The IEEE 1394 interface on the TV is usually there to connect cable TV boxes rather than streaming HD content. There are ways to make this work but there are also many variables (make of TV etc.) that will prevent it from working. (See links below for a fairly old discussion about the topic). A modern Intel Mac is quite capable of recording HDTV through a USB device, connected directly to the Mac, such as those made by Elgato using their EyeTV software.


What kind of computer connection is regulated by IEEE 1394?

The IEEE 1394 is similar to a USB device, it can be plugged into the port on the computer or device, mostly to import audio or video files. The IEEE 1394 port is called a firewire. An external scanner or disk drive may also have a firewire port.

Who created Firewire?

FireWire, also known as IEEE 1394, was developed by Apple Inc. in the late 1980s. The technology was designed for high-speed data transfer and is commonly used for connecting digital devices like camcorders and external hard drives. The standard was later standardized by the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) in 1995.
