Page 5: Introduction
Introduction Thank you for selecting a SkyPanel LED soft light from ARRI. The SkyPanel is a compact, ultra-bright and high-quality LED soft light. It is much more efficient than a soft light with a conventional light source. The different models of the SkyPanel emit white light with a fixed color temperature or colored light with adjustable color temperature and adjustable green-magenta point. - Page 6 You can set up or control the SkyPanel with the options listed in the table below Option Control Configuration Information Fixture menu page 6 Please see „DMX protocol specifica- tion (free download from www.arri.com) CRMX (WDMX)* page 26 page 35 Art-Net and sACN page 11 ALSM page 27 Web Portal page 29 The model S360-C is equipped with an internal CRMX Transceiver, all other models need to be connected to the SkyLink system (accessory) to gain wireless control.
