Power Supply
If the IEEE 1394 Bus does not deliver the
operating voltage (this also applies for nearly
all laptop solutions) then the camera requires an
additional power adapter such as the PHYTEC
SV001. Alternatively you can use a stable,
high-quality adapter of your choice, as long as
it delivers 8 to 40 VDC and 500 mA. Please
read the section 1.4, “Important Notes”.

Caution!
The identifiers „In“ and „DaisyChain“ describe the supply direction of
the operating voltage: In expects a voltage supply from another 1394
device while DaisyChain supplies other 1394 devices. Despite these
identifiers the data flow is always bidirectional.
Œ
IEEE 1394 Interface
The camera is equipped with two IEEE 1394-1995/1394a, 6-pin, 400
Mb/s connectors. PHYTEC offers a variety of suitable IEEE 1394
cables. As an alternative you can use other cables, as long is they meet
the IEEE 1394 standard. Please refer the section 1.4, “Important
Notes“ before proceeding.
