What this adaptor does

This BUCIER adaptor converts a FireWire IEEE 1394 6 pin female connection to a USB male plug. It lets you link legacy cameras or camcorders that use the 1394 interface to a modern USB port on your computer. The device is aimed at owners of older digital-video gear who still need to transfer footage without a dedicated FireWire card.

Installation notes

The adaptor is described as plug and play, so no driver installation should be required on systems that support USB 1.1 or 2.0. A common issue is that the USB port cannot supply the bus power that some FireWire devices expect, causing the connected camera to stay dark. Another frequent problem is confusing the 6 pin FireWire connector with the smaller 4 pin variant; this adaptor only fits the 6 pin version.

Check before ordering

Verify that your source device actually uses a 6 pin IEEE 1394 socket, not the 4 pin type. Confirm the host computer has a standard USB Type-A port available. Ensure the operating environment supports USB 1.1 or 2.0 speeds, as no faster standard is claimed. Buyers who need to connect 4 pin FireWire equipment or who require powered FireWire bus voltage should look elsewhere.

Questions about this item

How can I confirm the adaptor is working after plugging in my IEEE 1394 6 pin device?

The adaptor is designed for plug and play connections. When you connect a compatible digital camera or camcorder with an IEEE 1394 6 pin connector, the computer should recognise the device automatically without additional driver installation.

What comes in the package and do I need any extra cables for my camcorder?

The package contains one BUCIER FireWire IEEE 1394 6 Pin Female to USB Male Adaptor Convertor. Your camcorder must already have its own IEEE 1394 6 pin cable to plug into the female port on this adaptor.

Which version of this adaptor should I choose for a USB 2.0 port?

This single adaptor is compatible with both USB 1.1 and USB 2.0 ports, so it works with either standard without needing a different version.
