3RD GENERATION

This generation offers extended distance range

TRIGGERING

Triggering works with all existing Elinchrom ﬂash units with built-in or plug-in EL-Skyport Transceivers.

REMOTE CONTROL

WHEN ALL OR GROUP 1 - 4 IS SELECTED

• All Elinchrom ﬂash units with EL-Skyport are supported when changing “PWR±, MOD± or MOD on/off”.

When modelling lamp power settings are changed with the MOD on/off or MOD+/- button,the Elinchrom

ﬂash in use will switch to free modelling mode. To return to proportional modelling lamp mode, settings

must be made on the EL ﬂash unit.

• Some units do not support all modelling features, “--“ is then displayed (i.e. for Ranger, Quadra, ELB400).

WHEN A SINGLE UNIT IS SELECTED

• The selected unit is highlighted with a frame in the display and can be controlled individually.

• Only Elinchrom ﬂash units with built-in EL-Skyport receivers of the 2nd and 3rd generation are supported.

Note:

1st Generation units are detected, but will show “--“ in the display. There is no feedback of the unit settings to

the EL-Syport Transmitter Plus HS, but they will be triggered normally.

FREQUENCY CHANNELS

Some older Elinchrom ﬂash units with EL-Skyport built-in will support Frequency channels 1 to 4 or 1 to 8

(such as BRX, D-Lite RX, Quadra).

The latest Elinchrom ﬂash units with EL-Skyport built-in will support up to 20 different Frequency channels 1 to

20 (ELC, ELB).
