Description Task and function Strobe Wizard Plus radio system The Strobe Wizard Plus radio system is used to trigger and control the device with and without an installed receiver indoors and outdoors. Using the flash shoe or, alternatively the sync cord, the Strobe Wizard Plus transmitter is connected to the camera. The Strobe Wizard Plus transmitter is not equipped with an on-off switch. It is ready for operation when it is connected to the camera via the flash shoe or sync cord. For the device with a built-in receiver, the Strobe Wizard Plus transmitter is also used to adjust the flash energy and activate and deactivate the model light in addition to the flash release. For the device without a built-in receiver, the Strobe Wizard Plus transmitter is used solely for flash release. Using the jack, the external receiver is connected to the corresponding device. Through the sync voltage of the device to which it is connected, the Strobe Wizard Plus receiver detects whether the device is ready for operation. It therefore always switches on and/or off automatically. The Strobe Wizard Plus transmitter and receiver can be synchronized via three different channels. In this way, up to three workstations can be actuated separately. In addition, the Strobe Wizard Plus transmitter can also actuate all Strobe Wizard Plus receivers simultaneously (ALL channel). Freemask radio system Freemask is a photographic method for the automatic creation of digital cut-out masks. Two shots are hereby taken by the camera in brief succession. Exposure values and the camera position remain unchanged for both shots. For both shots, the Freemask transmitter controls two flash groups: one group for subject lighting and one for background lighting. For devices with a built-in receiver, the devices for subject lighting are allocated to the C channels, while the devices for background lighting are allocated to the F channels. For devices without a built-in receiver, at least one Strobe Wizard Plus receiver must be used for subject lighting and one Freemask receiver for background lighting. 17

Description The camera is switched to the mode for the shot for serial images and set in such a way that two images can be taken per series. If the trigger on the camera is actuated, then the Freemask transmitter initially controls the devices with the C channels for subject lighting and then the devices with the F channels for background lighting. Using the flash shoe or, alternatively the sync cord, the Freemask transmitter is connected to the camera. The Freemask transmitter is not equipped with an on-off switch. It is ready for operation when it is connected to the camera via the flash shoe or sync cord. For the device with a built-in receiver, the Freemask transmitter is also used to adjust the flash energy and activate and deactivate the model light in addition to the flash release for subject and background lighting. For devices without a built-in receiver, the Freemask transmitter is used solely for flash release. Using the jack, the external receiver is connected to the corresponding device. Utilizing the sync voltage of the device to which it is connected, the receiver detects whether the device is ready for operation. It therefore always switches on and/or off automatically. The transmitter and receiver can be synchronized via three different channels. In this way, up to three workstations can be actuated separately. In addition, the Freemask transmitter can also actuate all Freemask and Strobe Wizard Plus receivers simultaneously (ALL channel).
