Hardware Set-up

The Phase One H 5 connects to the computer via an IEEE 1394 connec- tion. This new, extremely fast connection does not have many of the limi- tations of the SCSI technology used in previous digital cameras. Many of the problems related to SCSI such as setting ID

numbers, termination, and not being able to “hot-plug” (having to shut down before unplugging the device) are nonexistent with 1394.

The cable length can be extended using the Phase One Power Conditioners to move the camera far from the computer.

Install the PCI IEEE 1394 card (if required).

While the owner’s manual for the particular computer should be consulted, the basic steps to installing the card are as follows:

1)Shut down and unplug the computer.

2)Remove the cover, exposing the motherboard.

3)Choose an empty PCI slot and remove the screw and cover.

4)Gently place the card into the slot with the 1394 connectors facing through the opening.

5)Press straight down and slightly rock the card until it is firmly seated in the slot.

6)Replace the screw to hold the card in place.

7)Replace the case, restart the computer.

In addition to setting up the computer, the camera must be prepared for working with the Phase One H 5.

This involves a few simple steps:

1)A Ground Glass Mask is included. This must be installed in the viewfinder to ensure correct framing. Remove the camera viewfinder and focusing screen (refer to the camera users manual for detailed instructions). Insert the Ground Glass Mask and replace the viewing screen and the viewfinder.

2)If a Mamiya RZ67 Pro II is used, connect the mounting plate to the camera and then connect the cable from the mounting plate to the connector on the front of the Mamiya. Be sure that the cable is connected and locked properly; the latching mechnism will be on the bottom.
