Like USB, FireWire is a plug-and-play connection; a FireWire port can support 63 devices (using a daisy-chaining technique). Just connect a device to your PC by using a FireWire cable — run the cable from the device to the FireWire port on your PC, and you’re ready to roll!
Why is FireWire dead?

Can FireWire be converted to HDMI?

Is FireWire still valid?
Firewire didn’t die. It’s still in use in many high-end setups, and you can still buy Firewire drives today. But it definitely became a niche product, with even Apple eventually dropping the port from its MacBooks.
