4.5 Tethered and Untethered Operations
Untethered: An IQ Series back can be operated as a fully portable battery
powered unit. Image les are shot and transferred to a CompactFlash card
which is inserted in the CF-card slot on the left side of the camera back.
Tethered: Remember to always keep a battery in the IQ back even when
shooting tethered to a computer via a FireWire connection. When operat-
ing tethered, image les can be shot to a CompactFlash card or transferred
directly to the assigned capture folder in the Capture One application on
the computer hard disk. (Go to page 76 for more details about charging the
battery whilst tethered to a computer).
Driver Set-up
Find out more on Installation and Activation of software on page 7 and 8 of
this User Guide. There is no specic program set-up. Check the Capture One
User Guide for recommended hardware. Eventual rmware announcements
will be available on our website, and in our newsletters.
Connecting
The maximum length of a compatible FireWire cable is 4.5 meters. Longer
cables might require a third party power solution or a FireWire hub. IQ Series
backs match the FireWire 800 standard.
Plug the FireWire 800 cable into the IQ unit and into back of your Mac or
Windows PC. (It is not recommended to use a FireWire port on the front of a
computer as it can be less stable). Capture One will automatically recognize
the IQ back and settings shared. (Read more on capturing in the Capture One
software manual).
N.B: IQ backs are compabile with FireWire 400. Please order a Phase One
FireWire 800 to 400 cable 4.5M. Part No: 50300164
