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±, or MOD on/off”.
• Some units do not support the modelling lamp on/off feature, “--“ is then displayed (i.e. for Ranger,
Quadra. The modelling light of the ELB400 can be switched on/off but the display shows “--“).
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 for
the Elinchrom Transmitter Pro, 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).
