3U CompactPCI IEEE 1394 FireWire™ Host Adapter

The EKF CF2-CYMBAL is a 3U CompactPCI® hostadapter for the 400Mbps IEEE 1394a-2000 High Performance Serial Bus - also known as FireWire™ (Apple) or i.LINK™ (Sony). The CF2-CYMBAL is based on the OHCI standard (Open Host Controller Interface), supported by all popular operating systems such as Linux und Windows®. The hostadapter provides connectors for up to three 1394 peripheral devices or bus segments.

Isochronous data packets are issued on the average of each 125us in support of time-sensitive applications, which makes the IEEE 1394 High Performance Serial Bus very popular in vision systems (digital video). A high quality video signal e.g. generates an uncompressed continuous data flow of up to 200Mbps, which is passed across the CF2-CYMBAL just-in-time to the CompactPCI system.
