1394 TA Establishes New VersaPHY Working Group

SAN FRANCISCO - (BUSINESS WIRE) - The 1394 Trade Association today announced
the formation of a new technical working group that will focus on the development
and marketing of VersaPHYTM technology.

VersaPHY is a 100 percent-compatible extension to IEEE-1394 and can be implemented
with existing IEEE-1394 PHY silicon. The VersaPHY specification is designed to simply
and cost effectively connect devices to a 1394 network while coexisting with
traditional, non-VersaPHY, devices. The working group will develop VersaPHY-based
applications and products, with initial focus on the VersaPHY Remote Sensor Profile
and automotive camera applications. For more information about VersaPHY,
