Air 1 And Air 2 Control Mode - Profoto B10X Plus Duo Kit User Manual

Air 1 and Air 2 control mode

You can select two alternative ways of controlling your lights from the
Connect Pro.
The Air 1 mode is the "legacy" control mode setting that can be used
to control all generations of Profoto Air lights, including lights that are
discontinued from the market. It is also the recommended control
mode if you have an explorative workstyle. It won´t let you see the exact
power setting of each light but on the other hand it will let you freely
change flash power anywhere (on your lights or from the Connect Pro) 13
without anything ever becoming out of sync. When Air 1 mode is active,
the Air 1 icon is displayed in the top bar.
The Air 2 mode makes Connect Pro the master and is recommended
if you want to be in full control from the camera. In Air 2 mode you will
be able to control and see the flash power settings of each group
directly on the Connect Pro display. But it will also restrict you to only
control flash power from the Connect Pro. If you change the flash power
directly on one of the lights, the flash power setting on the light will
temporarily be out of sync with the Connect Pro before it is overridden
by your next interaction with the Connect Pro.
The Air 2 mode is not compatible with all generations of Profoto Air
lights. The compatibility is generally restricted to Profoto lights with
AirX connectivity. When Air 2 mode is active, the Air 2 icon is displayed
in the top bar.
To change between the two settings, see section Control mode.
