Home Networking Software >> Firewire (iLink, IEEE 1394) Software

VividLogic provides the industry’s most comprehensive IEEE 1394 infrastructure for CE devices. FireBus software includes a complete set of device drivers, IEEE-1394, IEC-61883, AVC and HAVi protocols along with 5C content protection software. It also provides On Screen Display protocols such as EIA-775A, AVC Panel Subunit, HAVi and CEA-931A protocols. The software is pre-integrated with popular decoders, IEEE 1394 chipsets and Operating systems. It is pre-packaged into ready-to-deploy modules for DVD Players, AV Receivers, DTV and STB devices.

(1) Proven ability to deliver integrated solutions
(2) Strongest stable of worldwide design wins
(3) Widely deployed by several leading brands of DTV, Cable STB, satellite STB and DVHS manufacturers worldwide.
(4) Compliance verified by CE manufacturers & CableLabs
(5) System tested, plug fested and compliance tested by several DTV and STB manufacturers with several models of devices already in the market.
(6) Large installed base with a history of system-level interoperability
(7) Field tested by consumers with several hundred thousand devices in the market
(8) Open-platform & most flexible infrastructure provider
(9) FireBus software supports industry standard open APIs and can be scaled down to run on a target device such as a DVD Player or scaled up to be a network controller such as a DTV controlling a network of CE devices.
(10) Proven software solution, pre-integration with popular decoders, IEEE 1394 chipsets, CPUs and Operating Systems improves time-to-market
(11) FireBus software has been pre-integrated with many leading brands of HD Decoders, IEEE 1394 chipsets, OS and CPU providing manufacturers a wide variety of platform choices.

VividLogic developed IEEE 1394 based device drivers and middleware for HDTV, Cable and Satellite STB, DVD players, PC, etc. on VxWorks, PSOS, Linux, Necleus, OS 20, ITRON, Windows XP and WinCE platforms. This software comes with a state of art Bus Manager and an OS abstraction layer for easily portability to different OS.

THe VividLogic device driver presents a well defined interface for application programs to perform asynchronous (read, write & lock) and isochronous (talk, listen, stop, etc) transactions. The driver is capable of invoking multiple application callbacks on Bus Resets, asynchronous and isochronous transactions.
