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 (2.0/1.1)
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.
