Shooting speeds tethered with V3.7.3 C1 DB vs C1 Pro
I posted this in another topic and maybe it is better here. Regarding shooting times tethered to a new Mac Book Pro.
Great info. I have just been looking into a new MacPro 2GHz to use as a tethered station in my studio hooked up to a 23\" cine display.
I'm impressed with the shooting times for 10 frames with the P25. It seems very slow even at 37 seconds. I am currently shooting with a P20 to a G4 and it seems much much faster. I will run a test and see. I'm wondering if the file size difference makes it that much slower. Considering upgrading to a P30 but I'd be curious if the speed would be similar or slower. The specs say the P30 shoots as fast as the P20. For fashion work 37 seconds for 10 frames is s-l-o-w!
OK, here's the update. Ran several tests (P20)on my G4 with 1.5GB RAM, dual 1.42GB processors.
C1 DB 3.7.3: 10 frames +/- 28 seconds. Capture rate: 20 +/- seconds
C1 Pro 3.7.3: 10 frames +/- 30 seconds. Capture rate 25 +/- seconds
I am surprised that C1Pro runs slower. Captue rate is 5 seconds faster in C1 DB. Seems to make up 3 seconds of this in transfer rate to computer. Anybody else experience this?

I have never done this test but it does not suprise me when file arrive Capture One PRO have to look and detect 30 some different file formats from Phase One, Canon, Nikon etc etc while Capture One DB only have to detect Phase One RAW files.
Also I am sure that you can improve your capture rate by going to Preferences -> Camera Setup and set file format to IIQ S.0 -
Thanks for the reply, Ulf. Anyway to improve performance by being able to pre-select camera so SW doesn't have to search?
I tried IIQ S but it didn't seem to make much noticeable difference. Also, what is the difference under \"Camera Setup Preferences\" which is default set at \"Compatible with 3.0\" versus setting to \"IIQ RaW (L OR S)? Shooting with a P20.

Pre-select is not an option because this will interfer with \"hot folder\" capability and not a wise choice when it will rather add confusion instead of clarity.
IIQ is the new lossles compressed file format which will reduce the RAW file size by 50%0 -
Thanks Ulf. I guess my question is What is 3.0? Why is this the default setting? When should I leave it set to 3.0 vs. !!Q L or !!Q S?

2.9 is a Normal RAW file
3.0 is a Normal RAW file with a built in preview (has a .tif extension)
IIQ Large is a lossless compressed RAW file about half the size of a full RAW file.
IIQ Small is a lossy compressed RAW file. About 1/3rd of a full RAW file. File in it self has full quality but might loose details if exposure corrections are done.0
