Abstract

In center stage of the convergence between consumer electronics and computers is the IEEE 1394 interface. Total 1394 devices grew by a tremendous 192% in 2000 over 1999. While 2001 growth will be significantly slower overall, momentum is still positive. Solid growth will continue as the interface penetrates more Stock Keeping Units (SKU's) in the computing and digital camcorder markets, and as the interface is adopted by more device categories in both the computer and consumer electronics industries.

The emergence of IEEE 1394 devices is not without pitfalls. The rollout of 1394 into PCs and consumer electronics devices impacts industries ranging from PC and consumer electronics manufacturers, to TV, cable and satellite broadcasters, to movie and record studios, to retailers. Competing interfaces, such as USB 2.0, may have significant impacts in selected markets. While the breadth of applications for IEEE 1394 ultimately points to a tremendous opportunity, it also results in huge industry conflicts, punctuated by legislative and regulatory involvement.
