15. Topas A RFS
The power packs Topas A are also available as a unit version with integrated 10
channel RFS Interface (
R adio F requency S ystem). Each channel (studio) can control up
to 10 units. This interface allows remote control respectively flash release by radio via
the transmitter RFS as well as by means of a transceiver RFS via PC or Macintosh
computer. When controlling via screen, 4 storage spaces for different lighting situations
are at your disposal.
14.1 Modification to Topas A RFS
There is the possibility to modify Topas A power packs later on with a RFS interface.
The modification will be made by the customer service centre of our broncolor agency in
your country.
14.2 Topas A PLUS
Because of the laws in some countries, the use of the broncolor radio system is not
allowed. Therefore the power packs Topas A are also available in the version Topas A
Plus (that means with cable remote control). Besides the cable connection between the
power pack and the computer, the application with RFS is almost identical.
Attention: There is no camera transmitter available for Topas A Plus !
