SETUP MENU

SCAN..
When the Skyport HS is switched ON, it will automatically search for Elinchrom flash units with built-in or plug-
in EL-Skyport Transceiver modules.
The Scan feature is also available in the Setup Menu. A re-scan is required, when new flash units have been
added to the lighting setup.
To find EL flash units,
EN
all EL flash units must be switched on,
all flashes must have built-in or plug-in EL-Skyport Transceiver modules.
the Transmitter Plus HS and the EL flash unit must be set for the same frequency channel settings.
FREQUENCY CHANNELS
Up to 20 EL-Skyport frequency channels can be selected.
Note:
Only the latest Elinchrom flash units (ELC 500/1000 Pro HD, ELB 400 and future versions)
will support up to 20 frequency channels.
All "RX" flash units will support up to 8 channels and some older Elinchrom flash units support
up to 4 channels.
ELSP MODE
The Skyport HS has two operating modes that offer different shooting functionality.
Normal mode
Normal mode is compatible with the very first Elinchrom flash units incorporating EL-Skyport.
When selected, display illumination and status LED will light in green.
Speed mode
The Speed mode enables faster shutter speeds of up to 1/1000s depending on the camera using normal
flash synchronisation (i.e. for leaf shutter cameras and some mirrorless).
To use shutter speeds of up to 1/8000s the HS mode must be activated when used in both Normal and
Speed mode.The display illumination and status LED are displayed in red when is in speed mode.
Note:
The greatest working distance is available in Normal mode. Speed mode reduces working distance by
50%. Skyport transceivers in all remote flashes must have EL-Skyport mode capability to use Speed
mode.
SYNC MODE
Select the synchronization mode:
Standard mode
In Standard mode most cameras will work with shutter speeds up to 1/200s - 1/250s.
HS Hi-Sync mode*
In HS mode the shutter speed can be up to 1/8000s depending on the camera and the flash unit.
The HS mode requires flash units or flash heads with a long flash duration for best results.
Heads or flash units equipped with the A flash tubes (Action) are not recommended.
Second Curtain mode*
The Second Curtain mode gives the ability to fire the flash just before the shutter closes, for moving
effects.
*
With Nikon cameras, these features are activated within the camera menu.

ODS SETUP
The Over-Drive-Sync (ODS) can improve the overall exposure, when the HS Sync mode is active.
ODS relies on flash units with long flash durations, so results will depend on the flash duration of the lights
used (which also changes at different power levels), as well as the camera used. Full frame cameras with large
sensors and slow shutters are unfortunately the hardest to get good results with, but lights with long enough
flash durations can still achieve clean frames all the way to 1/8000th. In addition using ODS, they can gain up
to 2 f-stops more light, essential when sun light must be overpowered.
The ODS Setup offers adjustment from 0.1 to 5.0 ms or can be switched off.
The ODS value will vary depending on the camera and the flash unit which is used and must be adjusted
manually
Note:
Over-Drive-Sync (ODS) can only be used when the SYNC mode is set to HS.
When ODS is adjusted, the position of the flash cutoff (dark edge at top or bottom of picture) can be
moved within the frame. When switched OFF, the flash trigger point will be selected automatically when
in HS mode.
