Capture One does not see Sony A7R IV with Air Direct
Capture One is not seeing my Sony A7R IV with TetherTools Air Direct. Anyone else having a similar issues or know of a solution?
I am working with...
- MacBook Pro (13 inc, 2016, Four Thunderbolt 3 Ports)
OS X v 10.15.2 (Catalina)
- Sony A7R IV | FW v 1.0
- Tether Tools Air-Direct. (Tried USB-C to USB- C cable, and USB-C to USB 2.0 Micro-B 5-Pin cable.)
The Air Direct Unit successfully connects to the ADU utility on the Mac, but camera info does not show up in Capture One. When I navigate to Camera > Network Camera Manager > Add Camera, There is a field for an IP address, but I am not sure what IP address to enter for the camera, that info is blank in on the camera ... "Wi-Fi Settings > Display Wi-Fi Info". The only thing showing is the MAC address. If I enter that address (without the colons) Capture One accepts the entry, but still doesn't work. That leads me to believe there might be an IP address I am unaware of.
Help appreciated!

Tethering over WiFi for Sony is not supported. You can, of course, use a wireless connection as long as the computer and Capture One does not know it is something else than a USB connection. There are several solutions to this. 0 -
Okay! So what are other solutions? 0 -

What ver of C1? Does it tether without the air direct thing?
Ignore Network Camera Manger -- irrelevant.
All this unit does is create USB over IP. So it should work.0 -
It really sucks that tech support didn't bother to tell me this before I bought the Air Direct. It took me several days to finally shake an answer out of them. The blatantly lied to me. What a waste of time and brand credibility! 1 -

Just for the record, I said that WiFi tethering is not supported for WiFi, but if the wireless solution is USB end-to-end, it should work. I do not know the details of TetherTools Air Direct, but this option should work also.-1 -
To ask the obvious: when you connect your A7R IV with a regular USB cable (the one that came with the camera for example), was tethering successful? Only when you have established a connection in a conventional way, you can step up your game with a wireless connection.
I looked at the product page of Air Direct, Compatibility page and it is PTP based and compatible with Capture One.
I think you might want to check your camera configuration first and try with a regular cable first. Note that the proper USB setting in the camera for tethering is different from the A7 III and A7R III.0 -
Capture works with USB-C/USB-C or Sony's standard USB to USB-C cable that was shipped with the camera body. I realize Live View will not work with PTP. The camera config seems to be correct. I've tested every setting I can think of. Tether Tools techs seem to believe its an issue with OSX Catalina. 0 -

It's your Capture One setup -- not the fault of Tether Tools0 -
