Installation

This page gives clear instructions on how to install the ORB360 Capture Software

The latest version of the Capture software is 1.4.2. This is the recommended version and is required for newly bought Macs or Macs running MacOS Ventura (13.x.x) and above (Please note that Sonoma 14.x.x is only reccomended if your macbook came with that OS preinstalled). A changelog.md file is included in the download, with details of new features and fixes. If you have github acces, the full release files can be viewed here (link).

Please not that 1.4.1 does not include a splash screen, and may take a few minutes to start on first use.

Ensure that your MacOS version is either on Monterey (12.x.x) or Ventura 13.3.x and above.

(Camera connection will not be possible on 13.0.0-13.2.0)

Only upgrade to Sonoma (14.x.x) if directed to do so by the engineering team, as Sonoma is as yet unstable compared to Ventura. To find your OS version click the Apple logo on the top left corner and open "About This Mac"

If installing over a previous version, ensure that EDSDK.framework is replaced with the new version included in the 1.4.2 zip file.
