The FWX2-PCIE01 is a Dual OHCI 1.1 Compliant FireWire (IEEE 1394a) to PCI Express x1 Host Card.
FWX2-PCIE01 is designed with two key components.
- PCI Express to PCI Bus Translation bridge
- Two OHCI 1.1 Compliant IEEE 1394a Single Chip Host Controllers
The PCI Express to PCI local bus translation bridge takes advantages of the 2.5 Gb/s burst rate of 1-lane PCI Express bus and the PCI bus interface is connected to two OHCI 1.1 Compliant IEEE 1394a Single Chip Host Controller (TSB43AB22A). This solution provides full PCI Express and dual 1394a functionality and performance.
The TSB43AB22A device supports hardware enhancements to better support digital video (DV) and MPEG data stream reception and transmission. These enhancements include automatic timestamp insertion for transmitted DV and MPEG format video stream, and common isochronous packet (CIP) header stripping for received DV stream.
