Caution
■PleaserefertherestrictionsbelowwhenyouuseARTCAM.
(1)RecommendedSystem requirements
Ifthesystemspecificationsarebelowtherecommendedrequirements,itispossiblethatthecameramaynotreachthe
maximumspeed.
(2)UseofotherUSB3.0hardware
The data on our camera/converter is transferred in bulk mode. For this reason, when using our camera/converter,
please avoid using other bulk transferred USB3.0 hardware such as Memory stick, External HDD, External DVD,
CDROMandetc.
As asolution, we recommendto install aPCIUSB hostcard to thePC and connect externalUSB hardwareto thisport
only.
(3)USB3.0cable Extension
We cannot guarantee the functionality of the USB3 camera if the user adopts USB3.0 extension cables or repeaters
which are not confirmed by us. With the extension cables or repeaters, the bandwidth of transfer may differ, and thus
causedmalfunctionssuchasalowframerateor recognitionfailure onthe camera.
Whatmay causethe problemis that the regulation of thepower lines becomesnot enough, andso causesimpudence
mismatchondata signals.
