Outside of +IIDC, nearly all FireWire multimedia devices use IEC 61883 protocols. + +The libiec61883 library provides a higher level API for streaming DV, MPEG-2 +and audio over Linux IEEE 1394. This includes both reception and transmission. +It uses the new "rawiso" API of libraw1394, which transparently provides +mmap-ed DMA for efficient data transfer. + +This requires libraw1394 (available at SlackBuilds.org). |
