Accessories for Photo Finish
For the
ALGE
photo finish we offer very useful accessories.
19.1 IEEE 1394 PC-Interface
Depending on the PC there are different possibilities for the IEEE1394 connection to the cam-
era. Depending on the connectors of the PC and camera, as well as the camera distance to
the PC you have to select the ideal cable (see next page).
Desktop PC:
Most desktop PCs have an IEEE1394 interface included. You can use this interface, but in
most cases these interfaces do not allow to supply the camera or cable with repeater directly
from the PC by using the IEEE1394 cable. Alternatively, you can insert a PCI-card or PCI-
Express-card in a desktop PC.
Most IEEE1394 interfaces of desktops have a type A or C plug.
Notebook:
Most notebooks have an IEEE1394 interface included. In most cases this is the 4 pin C-type.
This plug does not supply other devices (camera, repeater) through IEEE1394.
Alternatively, it is possible to plug a PC-card (also called PCMIC or CardBus) or Express-card
for the Notebooks.
