4.5 Tethered and Untethered Operations
Untethered: An IQ2 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 IQ2 back even when
shooting tethered to a computer via a FireWire or USB3 connection. When
operating tethered, image les can be shot to a CompactFlash card or
transferred directly to the assigned capture folder in the Capture One ap-
plication on the computer hard disk. (Go to page 84 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 9 and 10 of
this User Guide. There is no specic 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. IQ2
Series backs match the FireWire 800 standard.
Plug the FireWire 800 cable into the IQ2 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 IQ2 back and settings shared. (Read more on shooting tethered in the
Capture One software manual).
N.B: IQ2 backs are compabile with FireWire 400. Please order a Phase One
FireWire 800 to 400 cable 4.5M. Part No: 50300164
