Subject: IOXperts Doesn't Like DMK 21AF04

I thought I would run this by you all before contacting The Imaging Source and IOXperts.

I received a new serial number from IOXperts f/u/w my new DMK 21AF04. In  the registration 

process it is necessary to enter this serial number in a dialogue box which also displays the 

"unique identifier" for the camera being registered. I am getting the message that "this serial 

number is not valid for this camera." The camera's unique identifier is supposed to be 16 

hexidecimal digits; the unique identifier for my DMK 21AF04 is 0007.4813.01E2.2D88.BA -- 

18 digits. I assume this is why the camera won't register. Omitting the final two digits doesn't 

help.

This is on a 17" G4 PowerBook running 10.4.7.

Apple's built-in driver allows only minimal control over the camera -- it displays an image 

and allows changes in brightness, gain, and shutter, but not FPS. While trying to autoguide 

using Equinox I was getting one frame per second, which is unusable.

Anyone ever encountered this problem?

Thanks,

David
