Remote Sync And Control - Profoto D4 1200 Air User Manual

Remote sync and control

The D4 Air generator can be remotely synchronized and controlled either via the Profoto
Air Remote device or via a computer running the Profoto Studio software.
For remote synchronization only, the Profoto Air Sync device or the Phase One/Mamiya
V-Grip Air can be used.
For remote control using the Profoto Studio software, the D4 Air generator can be
connected to the computer either via radio (with an optional Profoto Air USB transceiver)
or with a USB cable.
For remote sync/control via radio, the same radio channel as for the Profoto Air device or
software has to be selected and the group for each head shall be chosen.
NOTE:
Synchronization between the camera and the generator shall always be via radio or sync cord, never via the
computer and its software.
