I can not replay a move that was created with an older software version

•

Go to the trigger menu and select a valid start trigger like Jogbox/Laptop. The old file format

doesn’t support triggers, so no valid setting for the start trigger will be in the system after
loading an old move.

I have a 435A camera connected with a K-CAM-CCB2 and it does not work in Live Action

•

The K-CAM-CCB2 currently supports only stop and go motion operation in software versions

below V2.0

I can not get Ethernet connection to my CCB

•

Please check all the required settings with your system administrator as described in the

network setup document that is included in the update file package.
