Overview

Product overview

Key product information and technical features.

The PCIe-8253 connects FireWire cameras to a PCI Express host for image acquisition. NI identifies it as a three-port IEEE 1394b interface and documents the use of hubs to expand camera connections.

NI includes the PCIe-8253 in its FireWire camera troubleshooting guidance. For acquisition with NI-IMAQdx or legacy IMAQ for IEEE 1394, cameras must comply with the IIDC/DCAM specification; camera, driver, and operating-system support should be checked for the intended system.

  • Three IEEE 1394b ports for FireWire camera connections.
  • Up to 18 W of IEEE 1394 bus power, shared across all ports.
  • Camera connection expansion through hubs is documented by NI.
