Connecting The Camera - Meade Deep Sky Imager Color IV Series Quick Start Manual

DirectShow Drivers
DirectShow drivers allow you to use the DSI IV with
third party programs that use the DirectShow inter-
face. Additionally, the DirectShow drivers allow the
camera to image at a higher frame-rate than ASCOM
drivers and is ideal for taking video. The DirectShow
drivers also offers additional features such as au-
to-exposure. However, the RAW format is not sup-
ported by DirectShow.
To install the DirectShow drivers, click on "Camera
DirectShow Driver" button found on the CD-ROM
startup screen. Follow the on-screen instructions to
complete the installation.

Connecting the Camera

1. Connect the Meade DSI IV to the computer using the included USB cable. Wait for the camera hard-
ware to complete the installation.
2. Plug the included AC power adapter into an AC outlet, and plug the power cable into the DSI IV's "DC
12V" power port.
3. If attaching the camera to a 2" eyepiece holder, thread the included 2" to T-thread Nosepiece into the
camera body and insert it into the 2" eyepiece holder of your telescope. If you are instead using a camera
adapter of your own (such as a T-adapter), thread the camera adapter to the DSI IV camera body.
