Overview:
Proposed Seminars Include:*
Large Topologies
The upper limit for 1394 devices in one network is 63, however, it is possible to develop much larger networks. Learn how to utilize 1394 for networks of over 63 devices and how to avoid some of the pitfalls that come from sending data over long distances.
Industrial Applications
1394 is being utilized in a number of industrial applications and has become a common interface for industrial cameras. Learn the benefits of 1394 in industrial applications, how to avoid common mistakes, and how to apply best design practices to your industrial products.
Automotive Networks
One of the most exciting new areas for 1394 is Automotive Networks. Learn how 1394 was adapted to work in the automobile and the benefits of 1394 which make it uniquely suited to the needs of this market. This is an emerging market with many opportunities for early adopters.
Microsoft 1394b Support
Microsoft will be testing a beta version of their 1394b drivers at this event. Get an advanced look into Microsoft's support and learn how to best design products to be used with these drivers.

NOTE FROM ZACH LITTLE - MICROSOFT PROGRAM MANAGER for 1394
Microsoft would like to encourage as many TA members as possible to attend this design seminar and interoperability workshop. Microsoft will be bringing our *new* 1394 stack, which includes 1394b support. We want to make sure our new stack is very stable and performs well before we ship it. In order to enable this, we need the support of our partners. Attendance at this event will allow you to work with our developers and test your hosts and devices against our latest driver. The more companies that attend, the more issues we can catch now while there’s still an opportunity to fix issues. Please strongly consider sending representatives from your company to help out the ecosystem!
Also, Monday we will be presenting around our 1394 plans, including the current plan of record for shipping 1394b support, as well as some updates on what we’ve changed in the new 1394 stack. There will also be opportunity to ask questions after the presentation.
Thanks and hope to see many of you in Munich!
