Note: Computers that have a 6-pin 1394 FireWire port provide power for the camera through the cable. If the computer power supply is unable to provide about 5.5 watts for uncooled cameras, or about 11 watts for cooled cameras, then a 1394 power supply or a 1394 FireWire hub is required. Many camera manufacturers offer external power supplies as an option or accessory. A 6-pin to 6-pin Firewire cable is usually included with FireWire-powered cameras, but 4-pin to 6-pin cables are usually available for computers that have a 4-pin port. Computers with 4-pin ports require an external power supply or hub because the 4-pin port will not provide power. Some 6-pin ports also do not supply sufficient power, especially for cooled cameras. Check the power output specifications of your computer to determine if you must order an optional external power supply or hub.
