DVD in the car! This is being "driven" by Intel... intel.com This should keep the kids in the back seat quiet. In the article: 1394 is a video-speed serial interconnect that is now an IEEE standard. Like USB, 1394 enables plug-and-play peripheral connectivity, provides power to peripherals helping to eliminate each one having its own power supply, and supports isochronous data transfers. 1394, however, takes these capabilities to speeds required for video data transfer. Eventually, PCs will need only USB and 1394 serial ports to handle all I/O, dramatically simplifying life for PC users. The consumer electronics industry is already shipping digital camcorders, digital still image cameras, digital satellite receivers, and digital VCRs all with 1394 interfaces. Anybody know about 1394 serial ports and how CUBE chips interact with it?
