Hi-Speed FireWire 1394 Technology for uncompressed 640 x 480 @30 frames per second video!

Complete kit adds the high-speed FireWire 1394 Interface and a WebCam to your computer. Includes PYRO WebCam, software and FireWire 1394 PCI Card!

PYRO 1394 FireWire PCI Card - Upgrade your computer to FireWire! The PYRO 1394 Port provides three FireWire ports with blazingly fast throughput at 400 Mbps for the high-bandwidth demands of digital video transfer, CD-ROM, DVD and hard drives, and other 1394 peripherals on the horizon.

PYRO WebCam - The Hi-Speed PYRO WebCam provides the ultimate in video conferencing for your friends, family and business associates! With the high bandwidth of FireWire 1394 technology, the PYRO WebCam provides the clearest and smoothest video over the Internet!

USB WebCams using the older USB 1.1 interface compress the incoming video due to the speed limitation of the interface. Video compression typically results in a loss of quality in the video. Not with the PYRO WebCam! Taking full advantage of the hi-speed FireWire 1394 interface, the PYRO supports super high quality video at an uncompressed 640 x 480 resolution video @ 30 frames per second.
