I want to connect a We automatic macro rail to a PhaseOne IQ4-150 sensor but I need a cable from the rail unit to the sensor unit to trigger the ES shutter at each step.
Google AI says:
“The WeMacro controller uses a standard 3.5mm jack to trigger camera shutters via a physical cable. Phase One IQ4 digital backs use a 12-pin multiport or can be triggered via their electronic shutter over network interfaces. [1, 2, 3, 4]
* Cable Setup: WeMacro does not sell a proprietary 3.5mm-to-Phase One 12-pin cable directly on their shop. You will need a standard Phase One sync/breakout cable (like a multi-connector to mini-jack adapter) to bridge the 3.5mm shutter extension cable from the WeMacro control box to the camera.”
I think the PhaseOne sync/breakout cable referred to by Google is the one mentioned in a Capture Integration article on firing the electronic shutter on an IQ3-100 but that back has an 8-pin socket and the IQ4-150 has a 12-pin socket.
So, are there any options to electronically trigger the ES on the IQ4-150 yet?
