• EL-Skyport Transceiver RX module for each RX unit
• EL Skyport USB Transceiver RX for the computer
• EL Skyport software for Mac™ or Windows™ operating systems and of course a computer.

 

The program shows all RX unit settings:

• Flash power setting in 1/10 f-stop or in individually settable stepsModelling lamp setting in 1/10 f-stop, proportional, free and off

• Photocell on/offReady charge beep on/off Flashhead socket selection A/B (only activated with Digital RX power packs)Standby

 

 

Additional Features:

• Automatic RX unit detection and addressing. As soon as the RX unit is switched on and connected with the EL-Skyport Transceiver, the software searches for RX units.
