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 Com-
pactFlash 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 USB3.0
connection. When operating tethered, image les can be shot to a
CompactFlash card or transferred directly to the assigned capture fold-
er in the Capture One application on the computer hard disk. (Go to
page 90 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. 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
