## Summary description

DAWICONTROL DC-1394 PCI FireWire controller card provides wired IEEE 1394 connectivity for PC platforms via a PCI host interface. Built on the TI 43AB23 chipset, it supports data transfer rates up to 100 Mbit/s. Suitable for connecting FireWire audio/video devices, digital camcorders and legacy peripherals that require a 1394 interface on desktop computers.

## Long description

DAWICONTROL DC-1394 PCI FireWire controller card provides wired IEEE 1394 connectivity for desktop PCs through a PCI host interface. Built around the TI 43AB23 chipset, the card supports legacy 1394 devices and enables data transfer rates up to 100 Mbit/s. It adds a standard FireWire port to systems that lack onboard 1394 support, making it suitable for connecting audio interfaces, digital camcorders and other peripherals that require a FireWire connection.
Advantages
The controller card uses a proven TI 43AB23 chipset that ensures compatibility with a wide range of IEEE 1394 devices and stable 100 Mbit/s transfers. Its PCI host interface integrates with standard desktop motherboards without the need for external adapters. The board’s wired FireWire connection reduces latency compared with some adapters that rely on additional bridges, and it preserves device functionality for audio, video and data devices designed for the 1394 bus.
Suitable for
Connecting FireWire audio interfaces to a desktop PC
Importing video from digital camcorders and DV recorders
Using legacy 1394 storage devices and external drives
Linking scientific or industrial devices that require IEEE 1394
Key specifications
Host interface: PCI
Chipset: TI 43AB23
Supported data rate: up to 100 Mbit/s
Interface standard: IEEE 1394 (FireWire)
Form factor: low-profile compatible PCB (fits standard PCI slots)
How to use
Power down the computer and insert the DAWICONTROL DC-1394 card into an available PCI slot on the motherboard, then secure it with the slot bracket screw. Reboot the system and install any required drivers provided by the operating system or the device manufacturer to ensure the TI 43AB23 chipset is recognized. After driver installation, connect FireWire devices using a compatible 4- or 6-pin cable depending on the device connector. Verify the connected device is detected and configured in the operating system before starting transfers or device-specific applications.
Usage recommendations
For reliable operation, use shielded FireWire cables of appropriate length and avoid daisy-chaining multiple hubs when high sustained throughput is required. Ensure the host PC has an available PCI slot and that the operating system supports the TI 43AB23 chipset drivers; for older operating systems, obtain legacy drivers from the device or chipset vendor. When using audio or video equipment, close unnecessary background applications to minimize latency and ensure stable data streams.
