For Mac OS  Computers: 

 

• 

Intel based Macintosh  computers  with an OHCI compliant  IEEE 1394B port. 

 

• 

Mac OS X 10.5 and above. 

 

• 

256 MB+ RAM 

 

• 

The included IEEE 1394B card should be installed when a 1394b port is not present. 

 

 

IEEE 1394 (FireWire) Interface 

 

The Rolera EM-C

2

  can be powered and controlled through  an IEEE  1394a or 1394b (FireWire) 

digital interface. To realise the full benefits of the Rolera EM-C

2

, a single FireWire connection  from the 

camera to the computer combined with the external power connection will allow full control of the 
camera and rapid image  data transfer from the camera  to the computer. Maximum frame rates  at 
14-bit will require a 1394b connection to exist on the computer and the supplied card can be used to 
ensure full performance through the FireWire interface. 

 

 

Cables 

 

A 3-meter FireWire 9-pin to 9-pin interface  cable is included  with the camera. The 9-pin connection 
of either cable must be connected to the available FireWire 1394b port at the back of the camera; the 
other end of the cable plugs into your computer’s 9-pin FireWire port. QImaging recommends that 
you install the supplied 1394B PCI-Express card  to ensure proper  connection  to the 1394b port and 
experience the full benefits of the camera. 

 

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  9-pin FireWire cable from your local  computer store. When 
connecting the Rolera EM-C

2

 to any FireWire port, you will need to use an external power supply. 

 

What is  the difference between 4-pin, 6-pin and 9-pin FireWire ports? 

 

FireWire cables are available in three varieties: 4-pin, 6-pin and 9-pin. 9-pin and 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 Rolera EM-C

2

 by attaching the included external power supply to the system.
