It's a type of port, better known as Firewire. Here is the Wikipedia article on it so you can get an idea what it looks like:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IEEE1394
If you don't have any currently on your computer and you need one for your camera, you can add them with a PCI card like this:http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16815265002

IEEE 1394 is Firewire ... you'll probably find it's 1394b .. it was the first of the highspeed transfer protocols developed by Apple and incorporated in the early Sony Handicams and video cameras ... it has a transfer rate of 400Mbps where USB 1 only had a transfer rate of 11Mbps
USB 2 has a transfer rate of 480Mbps so most newish video cams use USB 2
The new Generation of Firewire has a tranfer rate of 800Mbps
Hope this helps
