4.5 Tethered and Untethered Operations
Untethered: An IQ1 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 IQ1 back even when
shooting tethered to a computer via a USB 3.0 or FireWire 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
application on the computer hard disk. (Go to page 86 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 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. IQ1 Series
backs match the FireWire 800 standard.
Plug the USB 3.0 or FireWire 800 cable into the IQ1 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 IQ1 back and settings shared. (Read more on shooting
tethered in the Capture One software manual).
N.B: IQ1 backs are compatible with FireWire 400. Please order a Phase One
FireWire 800 to 400 cable 4.5M. Part No: 50300164
* Please note, the IQ150 supports tethered live view using USB 2.0 or USB 3.0
only.
