The standard scope of supply includes the following components:

•the camera

•a C/CS-mount adapter

•a tripod adapter (bolted together with the camera)

•the software-CD SO-221

•this manual

1.1 Accessories

For the operation of the camera you normally need some additional

components.

You can obtain following material designed to be compatible with the

camera from PHYTEC:

Figure 2: FireWire Connecting Cable 6-Pin/4-Pin/Power Type

•FireWire Connecting Cable (6-Pin/4-Pin/Power Type), 2 m

Order number. WK113-2.0

Hint:

•The FireWire cables with a 4-pole plug are usually needed for

connecting the camera to a laptop.

The 4-pin FireWire connection does not provide supply voltage.

When using such a cable you need a separate mains adapter for the

power supply.

•Please note that the full data rate is specified for a cable length of

up to 4.5 m. The usage of longer cables is possible but the data rate

will be reduced according to the bus specifications. This means

that you possibly cannot use the full image resolution or framerate.

•AC-adapter 12 V / 600 mA for separate power supply

Order code SV001 (suitable for 230 V 50 Hz AC mains voltage

only)

•Video lenses:

In our product range we keep a variety of high-quality lenses for

several purposes. We will gladly assist you in choosing an

adequate lens.

•Additional accessories:

Depending on your application you may need further components.

We are happy to assist you in case any questions should occur.

1.2 What you Need for the Initial Start-Up

For the initial basic start-up you usually need some further

components besides the FireWire-CAM itself.

These are partially dependent on the computer with which you use the

camera. In Figure 3 you get a first overview of the appropriate

accessories:

Figure 3: Components of a FireWire System

FireWire-CAM-011H/-012H

A C- or CS-Mount lens. Please note however that the high quality

of digital cameras should not be reduced by using lenses of low

quality (see section 3.6, “How to Maximize Image Quality”).

PHYTEC provides a wide range of compatible high-quality lenses.

A PHYTEC FireWire camera.

In case the IEEE 1394 bus does not provide supply voltage (which

is common to almost all laptop solutions), you will need an extra

mains adapter (e.g. the SV001, see above). You can use a stabilised

quality-mains adapter of your choice alternatively if it provides 8

to 30 VDC and 500 mA. Please read section 1.5,“Important

Notes"

A cable for the connection between camera and IEEE 1394 bus.

This will usually be the IEEE 1394 interface (host controller) of

your computer. PHYTEC provides several IEEE 1394 cables. You

can use any other cable alternatively if they comply with the IEEE

1394 standard. Please read section 1.5,,“Important Notes"

A computer (PC, laptop) that meets the following requirements

Caution!

The host computer has to meet following requirements:

•1394 interface, compatible with the standards IEEE 1394-1995 and

IEEE 1394a (OHCI), 400 MBit/s

•processor: Pentium II, 300 MHz or higher

recommended: Pentium II, 500 MHz, 128 MB RAM or higher

for “FireWire-SDK”: PIII, 800 MHz or higher

•Graphics adaptor with 24 or 32-bit colour depth

•Operating system: Windows 2000/SP2 or Windows XP

•DirectX 8.1 or higher

Note:

In case you purchased a Starter-Kit, most components needed are

already contained.

Please compare the contents of your kit with the list of required

components first.
