the website (http://www.lekholminstruments.com/). Am I missing something?

Whoops!  Slim's right. Don't know where I picked up that impression.  The
site notes that the DM48 uses the Apple Lightning to USB Camera Adapter,
and shows a picture of same.  So anyone with a DM48 definitely needs one of
those thingies.  Bluetooth later, maybe.
