Nevertheless, I would like to understand the following:<br /> <br /> I recently read that when you connect a camcorder to a firewire card, the firewire cable functions similarly to a USB cable by transferring data. However, I'm unsure if data and signal are the same thing. In this case, I'm curious to know who actually performs the data conversion: is it the PC or the firewire card? Considering the presence of various "chips" and components on a firewire card, I assume they play a role in this process. If the firewire card handles the conversion, would it be possible to create a small case with a PCIe slot and a battery, allowing us to "capture" the video signal from the PCIe slot?<br /> <br /> With this setup, you could connect the PCIe slot to a GoPro and record the incoming video signal.<br /> <br /> I'm interested to hear your thoughts on this matter.<br /> <br /> Thank you.<br /> <br /> P.s. By "connect" I mean internally as a GoPro has no input jack.</div> </div> <div class="js-selectToQuoteEnd"> </div> </article> </div> </div> <footer class="message-footer"> <div class="reactionsBar js-reactionsList "> </div> <br/> <div class="js-historyTarget message-historyTarget toggleTarget" data-href="trigger-href"></div> </footer> </div> </div> </div> </article> </div> </div> </div> <div class="block block--messages" data-xf-init="" data-type="post" data-href="/inline-mod/" data-search-target="*"> <span class="u-anchorTarget" id="posts"></span> <div class="block-outer"></div> <div class="block-container lbContainer" data-xf-init="lightbox select-to-quote" data-message-selector=".js-post" data-lb-id="thread-407687" data-lb-universal="0"> <div class="block-body js-replyNewMessageContainer"> </div> </div> <div class="block-outer block-outer--after"> <dl class="blockStatus"> <dt>Status</dt> <dd class="blockStatus-message blockStatus-message--locked"> Not open for further replies. </dd> </dl> </div> </div> <div class="inContentAd"><div id='div-gpt-eda_thread1'> <script> googletag.cmd.push(function() { googletag.display('div-gpt-eda_thread1');

Nevertheless, I would like to understand the following:\n\nI recently read that when you connect a camcorder to a firewire card, the firewire cable functions similarly to a USB cable by transferring data. However, I'm unsure if data and signal are the same thing. In this case, I'm curious to know who actually performs the data conversion: is it the PC or the firewire card? Considering the presence of various \"chips\" and components on a firewire card, I assume they play a role in this process. If the firewire card handles the conversion, would it be possible to create a small case with a PCIe slot and a battery, allowing us to \"capture\" the video signal from the PCIe slot?\n\nWith this setup, you could connect the PCIe slot to a GoPro and record the incoming video signal.\n\nI'm interested to hear your thoughts on this matter.\n\nThank you.\n\nP.s.
