63Tethering Connections 63XT Camera System Manual |
The XT Camera System provides two dierent options for powerful, fast, and
reliable tethering via cable. In addition there is an option for wireless tethering,
allowing you to choose the best possible workflows for your specific needs.
This chapter will cover how to set up and take advantage of the dierent
tethering connections on the IQ4. The options are:
1. Ethernet
2. USB-C
3. Wireless
Gigabit Ethernet connection
The Gigabit Ethernet connection on the IQ4 allows for long cables (up to 90
meters).
Connection for tethering
Connect the supplied Gigabit Ethernet cable to the RJ45 port on the IQ4 and
the other end to a network port on a router or switch. Connect another
Ethernet cable between the computer and the router or network.
Launch Capture One version 11.2.1 (or later). IQ4 can automatically establish an
IP connection over Ethernet (or WiFi) to Capture One on your computer via
the built-in Bonjour feature. There is no need to configure the IP connection;
you just select the IQ4 as the connected camera system from drop-down
menu in the Camera tool in Capture One, and you are ready to start your
capture session.
Note! The automatic IP connection feature works natively on the macOS,
but if you’re working on a Windows pc, you need to have Apple’s Bonjour
installed. This is done by downloading and installing either iTunes for
Windows or Bonjour Print Services for Windows from Apple.
Be aware that while it is possible to connect the IQ4 directly to your computer
with just an Ethernet cable, it is not recommended as the router will handle
the network connection (like assigning IP addresses) automatically. If you
connect directly, you will have to enter some network details manually.
Ethernet Cables
The IQ4 requires a Category 6a (or better) of highest quality to deliver a fast
and reliable tethering experience. Use the supplied 5-meter cable or buy a
longer cable as accessory. It is possible to use a length of up to 90 meters.
Power delivery
The IQ4 supports the Power over Ethernet (PoE) which can deliver sucient
electric power to keep the XT Camera System running smoothly during normal
usage without having to recharge the batteries.
Please read the Power Connections chapter for more information about the
PoE power delivery options on the IQ4.
