  • IEEE1394 common isochronous packet (CIP) enhancements for host controllers
    Patent number: 6405275
    Abstract: The disclosed invention utilizes a host controller's mechanism to start an isochronous transmit stream on a particular IEEE1394 bus cycle to calculate an offset value from the first time stamped packet that is transmitted in a CIP stream. Packet generating applications indicate the desired offset through the difference of programmed time to start transmitting and the value placed in the first time stamp field. This offset is then applied to the time stamps that are inserted in the remainder of the packets.
