('Strb') STROBE
STRB
The Strobe effect produces a regular fl ashing light,
you can control the speed
Click the right switch to activate the strobe effect,
Rotate the right knob to adjust the strobe speed
(It will display XX hz , where= 'XX' = number of strobe
cycles per second). The strobe range is from 0.3hz
up to 7hz. (NB: the last used strobe parameters
are stored in non volatile memory). Rotate the left
knob to adjust the 'duty cycle' (fl ash duration) to
eliminate any issues with rolling shutter cameras
(This is known as 'Rolling Shutter Compensation')
where you can match the light fl ashes to match the
Shutter Speed and/or Frame Rate of your camera,
to avoid unlit portions of the image/frame. Click the
left switch to exit the Strobe Menu and return to
SFX Menu.
('Ltng') LIGHTNING
LTNG
The lightning effect simulates real lightning, it is
a random effect but you can control the speed at
which the lightning bursts re-occur, and because
this is a stroboscopic effect you can also adjust the
'Rolling Shutter Compensation', and this effect is
triggerable. Ideally you would set the brightness
(BRI) to 100% and the colour (COL) temperature to
6000k.
Click the right switch to activate the lightning effect
Rotate the right knob to adjust the lightning cluster
re-occurance speed.
(It will display XX hz which is an indication of the
effect frequency) The lightning range is from 1hz up
to 50hz.
Click the right switch to arm the effect and fade
to black, 'Trig' will be displayed - re-click the right
switch to trigger the effect (you can also use a fl ash
trigger connected to the 'FLASH' port jack to trigger
and stop the lighting).
Rotate the left knob to adjust the 'duty cycle' (fl ash
duration) to eliminate any issues with rolling shutter
cameras. (NB: the last used lightning parameters
are stored in non volatile memory).
Click the left control switch to exit the lightning
