Överföring av digital video via FireWire
Transmission of digital signals is today more frequently used than transmission of analog signals. One reason for this is that a digital signal is less sensitive to noise than an analog, another reason is that almost all signals today are handled in a digital format. This thesis describes the development of a system that receives digital video signals through FireWire. The standard for FireWire, which is a high performance serial bus, is under development. Today the standard of the bus supports transmission of data with a speed of up to 400 Mbit/s. In the future FireWire is supposed to transmit data with a speed of up to 3,2 Gbit/s. The thesis gives an introduction to the technique for FireWire and how it is implemented. It also includes a short description of digital video signals in DVCAM format.
