Just got a reply from Capture One support.
No live view support for IQ4.
Normally, I'll be receiving a lens/cam combo by the end of March so I'll test again as soon as possible.
I see the live view button and I can push it, the app will go in live view mode. I can also control the camera settings from there.Finally I got almost everything working. I didn't have the latest ios installed even though I was pretty sure I did
However, I don't have a live view button. Can someone confirm that live view works with IQ4 or will it be another disappointment.
Pretty sure it is a hardware issue. When they hurriedly introduced the IQ4 and decided they would roll out features as they had time to properly implement them, they did not realize whatever wifi/video component they decided to put in the back actually cannot do what we need. They keep promising live view, etc. but obviously cannot figure it out and are probably trying to program/hack around some limitation in the components they used in the back. The system in the IQ3 works flawlessly so at this point any high school kid could have just ported that code over to the IQ4 but it's not that simple since the IQ4 hardware is the problem. You won't see a good solution until the IQ5 (if they ever do one) at which point they could source a component that will work. This, of course, is all speculation but 5 years in I can't think of any other reason they can't get it done.
Could it be that you get the LV button because you also have your GFX plugged in at the same time?Well, that's odd. I can connect to the IQ4, I can control the back, and I can activate live view. Am I doing something wrong?
However: I currently don't have a camera/lens combo to attach the IQ4 to. So when activating live view, obviously I'm getting a black screen. When I trigger the camera, black RAW files are transfered to the iPad
I can also hook up the GFX100 II to the iPad using USB and activate wireless on the IQ4, and both show up as cameras I can connect to in C1 mobile. I can connect and disconnect each camera at will, no crashes or weird behaviour so far. I can shoot a small video with my phone if anybody wants to see it in action.
Indeed, I had mentioned the same thing to them and also mentioned it again in closing out the ticketThe answer I got from C1 support
"There is a limitation with the IP protocol for the iPad and the connection if I recall correctly the reason behind this limitation."
I had mentioned earlier in the conversation that it works great in Cascable. But they don't seem to want to listen to it
.
Didn't Phase One commission this to Cascable since they either couldn't figure it out or simply didn't want to deal with it?
Yes, it does. Even without the GFX plugged in. I can press the button, the live feed window shows up, but the feed itself stays black. I'll try to film it.
Pretty sure there is no iPad issue as I have many devices that can stream a live picture to my iPad. But, this does pretty much confirm my theory of inferior hardware implemented in the IQ4 without fully testing and now here we are.The answer I got from C1 support
"There is a limitation with the IP protocol for the iPad and the connection if I recall correctly the reason behind this limitation."

Correct, only the live view button shows up, that's about it. The live view screen is just black, and it stays black, even after removing the sensor cover. I don't think there's a feed at all.
