For Mac OS Computers:
• PowerPC-based Macintosh with an OHCI compliant IEEE 1394 port (G4 and iMac

models).
• iMac models may not provide enough power to cooled cameras. QImaging’s IEEE 1394
HUB may be required to power the camera. Contact QImaging for ordering information.
• Mac OS 9.1, 9.2 or X
• 256 MB+ RAM
• All the G4 and iMac models are equipped with a FireWire card. The supplied IEEE 1394 PCI
is not required for Mac OS computers.
IEEE 1394 (FireWire) Interface
The Intensified Retiga Fast 1394 is powered and controlled through an IEEE 1394 (FireWire) digital
interface. A single FireWire connection from the camera to the computer allows full control of the
camera and rapid image data transfer from the camera to the computer.
Cables
A 10-foot FireWire interface cable is included with the camera. One end of this cable connects to
either of the available FireWire ports at the back of the camera; the other end of the cable plugs into
your computer’s 6-pin FireWire port.
Some computers have 4-pin FireWire ports. These ports may be used if they are OHCI compliant, but
you will need to purchase a 4-pin to 6-pin FireWire cable from your local computer store. If you
connect the Intensified Retiga Fast 1394 to a 4-pin FireWire port, you likely need to use an external
power supply.
What is the difference between 4-pin and 6-pin FireWire ports?
FireWire cables are available in two varieties: 4-pin and 6-pin. 6-pin FireWire cables are capable of
providing both power and a communication interface between the camera and computer while 4-pin
cables provide only a communication interface. Some laptop computers have 6-pin FireWire jacks that
do not provide power. If your computer has such a port, you will have to power your Intensified Retiga
Fast 1394 by attaching an external power supply to the system.
