This section only talks about HyperSync. Read the section on Understanding HyperSync and High Speed Sync to learn more about the difference between HyperSync and High Speed Sync.
HyperSync enables a PocketWizard connected flash to begin firing just *before* the camera triggers a sync pulse. Since you are "triggering faster than a wire" with HyperSync, you can sync at shutter speeds faster than X-sync for many cameras and get more usable flash energy before Auto FP (High Speed Sync) is activated.
When using transmitting and receiving ControlTL radios, HyperSync is adjusted separately on the transmitter and receiver. The on-camera MiniTT1 or FlexTT5 automatically adjusts HyperSync for the best performance and compensates for changes to shutter speed. The receiving ControlTL radio can additionally compensate for flash power level by making adjustments to achieve the fastest possible sync speed with supported configurations, such as a FlexTT5 with an AC9 AlienBees adapter, a PowerST4, or a PowerMC2. Some configurations require adjustments via the PocketWizard Utility.
All receiving PocketWizard radios, including the Plus II, etc., will trigger in sync with HyperSync. HyperSync requires a MiniTT1 or FlexTT5 as a transmitter. A Standard transmitter like a Plus II cannot trigger a remote FlexTT5 and achieve HyperSync. This is because the MiniTT1 or FlexTT5 as transmitter actually sends out 2 signals every time it is triggered; one on a Standard Channel and one on a ControlTL channel.
HyperSync can be customized on a per-flash basis. If you have Multiple flashes of different makes/models, you can now make HyperSync adjustments individually on each receiving FlexTT5.
