Well, I say they used it: the interface was there on a lot of camcorders, but I think few computers had it, so few people actually _used_ it (I fear they probably used their old VHS systems for _editing_: though probably most people didn't actually _edit_ anyway. Probably people who use camcorders still don't, much anyway). A friend had a video capture unit - named Pinnacle - that had a firewire interface, and worked noticeably better than the USB video capture units available at the time he got it: then, the majority of (certainly USB) video capture units worked at either half resolution, lower than full frame rate, or both; the few that didn't seemed to struggle, either because of processing limitations or the USB interface, whereas his Pinnacle unit seemed to work fine. a connector on one of mine (I have 3 old computers ranging from about 18 to 7 years old - but I have never plugged anything into it. There certainly had to have been SOME devices using FireWire connection for a while around the turn of the century, but the Some external hard drives used it too, where speed was important. I would say it briefly took the place of SCSI in that respect - but for a very short time. timing was unfortunate since USB was a lot easier and basically, universal, no pun intended. I have not seen the term FireWire mentioned in YEARS, let alone seen a device. But then again, I don't get out much. (-: Nopr does FireWire.

When I first tried it, it was as simple and primal as hooking up a loudspeaker with a bti of bellwire. It just worked without me having to give it any more thought than I would a piece of string! I never saw any other interface except MIDI work that easily. Yes, when Len first tried it with one of his camcorders, it did seem to work very well. -- J. P. Gilliver.

(But as I'm not in either trade professionally, I'm probably wrong.) Probably right actually, maybe that's why they went for royalties, they didn't expect to mass-produce enough to make it pay on scale alone. They self-limited though, in that case. I didn't know it had replaced SCSI even for a moment, but I did think of it and wish it would. It seemed like MIDI, but with SCSI's speeds. Obviously in the electronic music scene that is a strong draw. A sampler might have needed no other interface if MIDI messages arrived the same way. Fortunately FireWire's user base is the kind that digs its heels in, so it will likely survive long term, building a steady following that makes it impossible to kill off. I mean, if M$ decided that USB was dead, it WOULD die, right? |
