EL Skyport System
Trigger & Remote System
Elinchrom Wireless System
Two in one. Flash triggering and wireless studio
remote control of all RX unit functions.
A new miniaturised, very secure high speed
data transmission system providing hand held or
computer wireless function control of all Elinchrom
RX power units. There is also a “Universal Set” for
flash synchronisation with any other flash system.
Huge technology advances have allowed the
modules to be as small as 18- 30 g each except
for the Universal Receiver, which weighs 51 g
including its re-chargeable battery.
For multiple flash unit control, there are 8 frequency
channels and 4 workgroups.
EL-Skyport offers four powerful wireless modules:
The Universal Receiver is compatible with
Classic Elinchrom units and any other flash
brand. Delivered with EL - standard sync cable
and 3.5 mm jack, to connect to other flash
brands. The internal, rechargeable Li-Ion battery
provides about 30 hours of battery operation. To
maximise battery life, the Auto-Standby function
activates when the unit is not used for 4 hours.
The charger can be connected to the mains
whilst the Universal Receiver is in operation. The
status LED shows charge and operating modes.
The USB Transceiver RX module fits any Mac™
or Windows™ computer. By installing the
EL-Skyport software, all Elinchrom RX flash units
can be controlled. The program automatically
searches for the “Transceiver RX” and “Universal
Receiver” modules.
Note: Full remote control is only available by using
a full RX Transceiver system. RX flash units or
other flashes using the “Universal Receiver” can
only offer synchronisation and strobing options.
EL-Skyport Receiver Universal 19352
EL-Skyport Transceiver RX 19353
This module controls basic functions of an
Elinchrom RX unit to which a Transceiver RX
19353 is attached. To control all RX functions
the USB Transceiver RX 19354 and the latest
EL Skyport software is required which also offers
additional features such as “strobing”.
The Transmitter synchronises remote flash units
when each is fitted with either a “Universal” (fitting
all flash brands) or the Transceiver RX (fitting Style
RX, Digital RX and Ranger RX units). The RX
Transceiver also provides control over the power
and modelling lamp of all Elinchrom RX flash
units, directly from the Skyport Transmitter.
This module fits only Elinchrom RX units, using
the integrated multiple interface for triggering
and for the remote computer operating option.
No internal battery is required, just plug into a Style
RX, Digital RX or Ranger RX flash unit (Please
remember to double check the “Group” and
“Channel Frequency” settings) and the Transceiver
RX is ready to use. To control flash power, model-
ling lamp on/off and flash synchronisation, requires
only the Transmitter. To control all RX functions,
the latest EL-Skyport software and the USB RX
module is required. The EL-Skyport software also
offers additional features, such as the programma-
ble “Flash Delay”, Flash-Counter and other control
features will be added as future software upgrades.
