Why FireWire?

FireWire 400, also known as IEEE 1394, is a high-speed serial input /output technology for connecting peripheral devices to a computer or to each other. It is ideal for bandwidth-intensive applications, such as audio, video and graphics. it is Hot-pluggable, daisy-chainable and flexible up to 63 devices can be connected on a single bus.

Blu-ray 50GB discs used in the BD Drive offer 10x more capacity than a single layer DVD. This increased capacity gives professionals the
freedom to choose much higher bit rate codecs when mastering content, ultimately improving picture quality. For increased audio quality, Blu-ray technology allows for up to eight channels of 92kHz/32 audio streams.
