Dawicontrol DC-1394 PCIe — FireWire 400 Controller
3 FireWire portsIEEE 1394aUp to 400 MbpsPCIe x1
The Dawicontrol DC-1394 PCIe is a PCI Express FireWire controller for adding IEEE 1394a connectivity to a compatible desktop PC. The card provides three FireWire 400 ports, supports transfer rates up to 400 Mbps and uses the Texas Instruments XIO2200A FireWire controller chipset.
Compatibility — check before buying:
This is an IEEE 1394a / FireWire 400 controller, not FireWire 800. The card requires an available PCI Express slot. Its three FireWire connections consist of two external ports and one internal port, so do not expect three external sockets on the rear bracket.
Best For
✓ Adding FireWire 400 to a PCIe desktop
✓ Legacy IEEE 1394a peripherals
✓ DV camcorders and compatible audio/video hardware
✓ Systems requiring a TI-based FireWire controller
Key Features
Three IEEE 1394a ports
The controller offers three FireWire 400 connections in total, with two external 6-pin ports and one internal 6-pin port.
FireWire 400 performance
IEEE 1394a supports S100, S200 and S400 transfer modes, with a maximum signalling rate of 400 Mbps for compatible FireWire devices.
Texas Instruments XIO2200A
The controller is based on the Texas Instruments XIO2200A chipset, a PCI Express-to-IEEE 1394a controller used in compatible FireWire expansion applications.
PCI Express x1 interface
The DC-1394 PCIe connects through a PCI Express x1 host interface and can be installed in compatible PCIe slots with sufficient physical clearance.
Technical Specifications
Frequently Asked Questions
Singular Expert Insight
The DC-1394 PCIe is aimed at systems that still need dependable FireWire 400 connectivity. Its Texas Instruments XIO2200A chipset is a useful identifying feature, particularly for legacy audio/video hardware where controller chipset compatibility can matter. The key buying detail is the port layout: the card has three FireWire ports in total, but only two are externally accessible on the rear bracket.
Buyer’s Guide
Buy it if
You need IEEE 1394a / FireWire 400 connectivity in a desktop with an available PCI Express slot, especially for legacy FireWire peripherals.
Skip it if
Your equipment requires FireWire 800 / IEEE 1394b, USB or Thunderbolt instead of the older IEEE 1394a standard.
