Connection of the DCx camera
Remove the camera’s lens cover. Mount a lens on the camera open the lens’s aperture. Plug in the
USB 2.0 cable into your PC’s USB 2.0 port. Connect the camera using the USB 2.0 cable.
Window’s plug and play manager recognizes the new hardware.
A wide range of various hubs and repeaters are available that can be purchased from the computer
trade.
Experience with USB2.0 PCI plug-in boards has shown that their performance is poorer than with
interfaces integrated direct into the mainboard.
The USB 2.0 hubs being used must be full powered hubs that are able to provide 500mA per USB
port. Low powered hubs, in comparison, only supply 100mA per port which is not sufficient for DCU
cameras.
