1.6 Overview of Connectors and Settings
1.6.1 Connectors
Usually you only need the IEEE 1394 bus for
connecting the camera. This bus transmitts the
video data, the control data and the supply
voltage for the camera.
In case the IEEE 1394 bus does not provide
supply voltage, the camera requires an additional
mains adapter.
Always connect the In socket directly resp.
indirectly (see Figure 5) with the computer (PC).

Caution!
•
The terms „In“ and „DaisyChain“ specify the direction of the feed-
ing of the supply voltage: In expects a power supply by another
1394 device while DaisyChain supplies other 1394 devices (see
Figure 6)
•
If you have connected the camera to your computer via a 4-pole
plug, your camera will not be supplied with voltage by this device.
In this case you will have to connect the socket „power supply“ to
an external power supply. Use for example the mains adapter
SV001 from PHYTEC.
