Direct lighting Popper! 1x Quick Manual

Traditional electronic ﬂashes and theatrical strobe lights are unsuitable for use in

motion picture photography, because their ﬂash is of too short a duration to be

reliably recorded during the actual camera exposure. The "POPPER" allows for

simple and convenient control of readily available theatrical strobes and

"Hungaroﬂash" lightning units. By providing direct user adjustment of both "Flash

Intensity" and "Flash Duration", these strobe units can be conveniently and effectively

used for off-screen photo ﬂash effects, without the expense of time or complexity in

setting up a dimmer control console.

The "POPPER 1X" has a single "Flash" pushbutton, and digital controls for "Intensity"

and "Duration." It also has 1 DMX signal output, 3Pin XLR female connector.

USE:

1 Set the strobe unit's internal dip switches to allow for DMX control of all 3

parameters: "Intensity" "Duration" and "Rate" (See illustration Below)

2 Set the starting DMX value for Dataﬂash AF 1000 units to channel "1" (See

illustration Below)

Or set the starting DMX value for Hungaroﬂash units to channel 4

3 Test the battery inside the Popper 1X unit by pressing the "POP" button. If the

battery is good, you should see a single ﬂash of the green LED above the button, for

each press.

4 Power on the strobe unit.

5 Set the desired intensity on the "Intensity control" of the POPPETR 1X.

6 Set the ﬂash duration on the "Duration control" of the POPPETR 1X.

7 Momentarily press the "POP" button to ﬂash the strobe.

Page 2 Notes. You may daisy chin as many strobe units as you like off of the single output, so long as Dataﬂash AF1000 units are addressed as Ch 1 and Hungarofash units addressed as Ch 4, they will all ﬂash simultaneously for the desired duration. Dataﬂash AF 1000 units will "safety timeout"...
