USB Port
The Atik Horizon can be used with either a USB 3.0 or USB 2.0 cable. Your camera comes with both
so you have the flexibility to choose whichever suits your set up and your imaging requirements
best.
The Atik Horizon features a 256mb DDR III image buffer to ensure fast image transfer from sensor
to memory and low amp glow. The typeof USB (2 or 3) connection dtermines the speed of transfer
between this buffer to the PC. For high speed, you can use USB 3.0 or for a lighter more flexible
cable use USB 2.0. The type of connection does not affect image quality.
The USB 3.0 cable is connected as shown below, and can be connected to either a USB 3.0 or USB
2.0 port on your PC. Please note that USB 3.0 transfer speeds will only be reached when connecting
the cable to a USB 3.0 port on your PC.
