Apple today released OSX 10.6 nicknamed Snow Leopard. Preface: A Brand New OS Has No Place in a Production Environment Capture Integration’s general guidance is to avoid using Operating Systems immediately upon their release on any production computer. As with any update large-or-small to a production computer we recommend you proceed only when 1) it is clear that there are no major bugs 2) you have a backup of a … Read More →

Not all Ports are Equal

Posted on 2009/08/26 12:12 PM by admin

Apple Mac Pros have firewire ports on both the front and back of the machine. While convenient the firewire port in the front of the tower is not well suited for high-performance tasks. Whereas the back port has a direct connection to motherboard the front port is connected to the motherboard through poorly shielded cable. This is not a problem for most uses of firewire, but high performance digital backs … Read More →

Type(1-7)Camera but Don't Touch

Posted on 2009/08/26 11:54 AM by admin

If you follow this blog then you know the Type8Camera issue for tethering dSLRs in Leopard. If not, read our Type8Camera article. In the same folder as the Type8Camera are 7 other similar files. If/when you remove Type8Camera you should NOT remove or modify any of these other files. Doing so will cause Capture One to crash immediately upon launch. As a general rule of thumb it’s a bad idea … Read More →

Capture Integration receives several dozen calls to our two locations for tech support. Because the digital back is the most expensive part of the camera system it is generally the first target of blame whenever something is “not right”. So you might be surprised by the breakdown of the solutions to tech support calls that I, as Head of Technical Services, answered in 2008.

With some dramatic customizations we were able to come up with a system that would be blazing fast, even compared to the fastest system available from Apple.com. We remove the DVD Drive from the MacBookPro (we give you an external DVD burner which runs off of USB power to replace it) and put in … Read More →
