IEEE1394 Port (on selected models)
IEEE1394 is a high speed serial bus like SCSI but has simple
connections and hot-plugging capabilities like USB. The
interface IEEE1394 has a bandwidth of 100-400 Mbits/sec
and can handle up to 63 units on the same bus. IEEE1394
is also used in high-end digital equipment and should be
marked “DV” for Digital Video port.
E-SATA
E-SATA Port (on selected models)
External SATA or eSATA allows external connection of Serial-
ATA devices originally designed for use inside the computer.
It is up to six times faster than existing USB 2.0, & 1394 for
external storage solutions and is also hot pluggable using
shielded cables and connectors up to two meters.
HDMI
HDMI Port (on selected models)
HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface) is an
uncompressed all-digital audio/video interface between
any audio/video source, such as a set-top box, DVD player,
and A/V receiver and an audio and/or video monitor, such
as a digital television (DTV). Supports standard, enhanced,
or high-definition video, plus multi-channel digital audio
on a single cable. It transmits all ATSC HDTV standards and
supports 8-channel digital audio, with bandwidth to spare
to accommodate future enhancements or requirements.
USB Port (2.0)
The USB (Universal Serial Bus) port is compatible with USB
2.0 or USB 1.1 devices such as keyboards, pointing devices,
cameras, hard disk drives, printers, and scanners connected
in a series up to 12Mbits/sec (USB 1.1) and 480Mbits/sec
(USB 2.0). USB allows many devices to run simultaneously
on a single computer, with some peripherals acting as
additional plug-in sites or hubs. USB supports hot-swapping
of devices so that most peripherals can be connected or
disconnected without restarting the computer.
