bg-r20ep

Hello. I'm wondering if anyone has had success shooting directly to Capture One Pro via Ethernet tethering with a Canon R5 Mark II camera attached to a Canon BG-R20EP battery grip. I don't own this camera, but I use it for work every month. After some trial and error, I was able to successfully connect the R5 II to the Canon EOS Utility app via Ethernet. Using a Cat 6 Ethernet cable, RAW file transfer speeds were also quite fast. However, I was unable to connect directly to Capture One Pro. Capture One Pro recognized the camera as connected, but didn't attempt a direct connection. I'm wondering if Ethernet tethering is supported on the Canon R5 II. Cat 6 Ethernet cables are inexpensive, and I don't want to buy expensive cables like Area 51, Tether Tools, or Nine Volt. I spend thousands of dollars on tethering cables every year. It would be great if I could connect this camera directly to Capture One Pro via Ethernet tethering. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I'm currently using the latest version of Capture One on macOS Tahoe 26.2.
