What sync cables should I use for PhaseOne P or IQ1/2/3 Series digital backs with RB67 / RZ67?

Firstly, you need to confirm whether your digital back is designed for both 1-shot and 2-shot, or only 2-shot. You can determine this from the list below:
  • P20+ / P21+ / P25+ / P30+ / P45+: These digital backs have Kodak Sensors, which require the 2-shot method to take a picture because they need a wake-up signal before the actual shot.
  • P40+ / P65+ / IQ1,2,3 Series: These digital backs have DALSA Sensors(we don’t know the manufacturer of IQ 2, 3 series’ sensor yet), which support standby mode. This mode allows them to take a picture with only 1 shot and does not require the 2-shot method. However, you can still choose to use the 2-shot method to save battery power by deselecting standby mode.
Now that you understand the different types of digital backs and their corresponding sync cables, you can choose the appropriate cable based on the model of your digital back and your preferred shooting method. (For IQ 4 series users, please don’t buy the multi-connector below because IQ4 series is needed 12-pin multi-connector, not 8-pin multi-connector below.)

2-Shot Cable

Option 1 Option 2 Option 3

1-Shot Cable

(The Credo digital back operates on the 2-shot method when used with any classic medium camera. However, if you use a 1-shot cable, you can still perform the 2-shot method with two single shots) Option 4 Option 5
