User Manual

1. Setup as per page 19

2. Point camera directly at Creamsource light

3. Select MENU->MODES->Calibrate Sync on Creamsource. It will start to ﬂash

at the locked framerate

4. Use wheel to adjust phase on Creamsource. As you change the phase,

a dark band should appear to move up and down on the camera monitor.

Adjust until the dark band ﬁlls the monitor completely. Shooting with wide

shutter angles and at higher speeds reduces the size of the dark band, making

calibration more diﬃcult.

5. The Creamsource is now calibrated. It can now be set to desired mode

(Normal, Strobe etc) E.g. Select MENU->MODES->Normal

Shooting

Once the Creamsource has been calibrated, any of the modes may be used

without the possibility of causing torn frames. The remote dimmer unit or DMX

control can also be used safely. If the framerate, shutter angle or the phase of the

camera shutter is adjusted, then you will need to re-calibrate.

You can use FlashBandit with more than one Creamsource unit only if you are

NOT also using DMX or Remote. This is because the DMX or Remote overrides

the communication channel between the Creamsources.

How to run multiple Creamsource WITH DMX/Remote:

1. You will need a FlashBandit unit for each Creamsource, and each unit will have

to be calibrated (the same Phase angle will apply to all units).

2. Each Creamsource will then need to be set to the desired Mode (Strobe, Flash

Frames etc)
