The multimedia networks, which use as the medium of transfer copper wires, soon can become the part of onboard equipment automobiles. In any case, the organization 1394 Trade association forms new group for the completion of development of the corresponding specifications IDB-1394.
It is known that the group will work at the base document, which will determine basic requirements for the medium of sound transmission and image, including the width of transmission 400 Mbit/s and connection at distances to 4,5 m.
Leadership project exercises the group Of automotive working group, and in their work participants will collaborate from Silicon group and Compliance & interoperability working group. The involvement of the wide circle of specialists, as it is expected, will help to make the matched decisions and to manufacture the noncontradictory requirements, addressed to the producers of equipment. In the specification will enter the requirements, which are concerned the screened beaten pair (Shielded twisted pair), the beaten four (Twisted quad) and coaxial cable.
It is assumed that cable systems can be will be used independently or in combination with the the plastic (plastic optical fiber, POF). Let us recall, specification POF for aircraft electrical wiring systems, developed 1394 Trade association, they were the basis of some early projects, realized by the producers of automobiles.
Earlier in this year association reported the creation of group on the development of specifications sublevel medium (Physical layer medium dependant, PMD) IEEE 1394 for the wide-band transmission of data on the coaxial cables.
