HyperSync Only (Disably HSS/FP)
Check this box to completely disable High Speed Sync and instead use HyperSync exclusively. A FlexTT5 receiving on a ControlTL Channel will trigger a manual flash at all shutter speeds. This allows HyperSync with a manual flash to be combined with High Speed Sync using Speedlites. Triggers on Standard Channels are only transmitted at shutter speeds faster than the camera's x-sync speed if High Speed Sync is disabled.
HSS/FP Begins At (HyperSync Ends)::
Select the shutter speed where HyperSync Timings are no longer used and High Speed Sync/FP Flash is engaged.
HyperSync Flash Duration For Standard Channels 1 (FAST) to 10 (SLOW)
These settings automatically take into account the specific shutter timings of your camera, and combines them with an estimated duration of your remote flash.
A setting of 1-3 (FAST) will work best with a flash that has a short duration, like most hot shoe flashes. A 4-7 (MEDIUM) setting would be useful for a medium duration flash, such as an AlienBees B400 or an Elinchrom 300RX, and an 8-10 (SLOW) setting would fit best for a Profoto Acute series, or higher powered Elinchrom or AlienBees flash. Some experimentation may be necessary to find the best setting for your camera and flash combination.
Manual HyperSync for Standard Channels
Checking this box enables the use of the Manual HyperSync Offset Control. HyperSync Automation is still used in the transmitter to detect your specific camera model's shutter timings. This control adjusts how remote flashes connected to Standard Channel receivers like the Plus II or MultiMAX will trigger relative to your camera model's timings.
If you have previously found your HyperSync offset and would like to continue using that method, select this menu option and set the offset with the slider control below. A manual hyperSync value used in the previous production firmwrae is not likely to work, however, and you will need to test again to find your new HyperSync value. This is because of the new HyperSync Automation camera detection which was not used in previous firmware.
Manual HyperSync Offset (slider)
This slider is an alternative method for adjusting HyperSync, instead of the HyperSync Flash Duration For Standard Channels control. It lets you manually specify when to trigger a flash (in microsecond) relative to the camera's normal x-sync time. This control is disabled unless Manual HyperSync for Standard Channels has been enabled.
AC9 Flash
Use this setting to choose the flash connected to a receiving FlexTT5 via an AC9 AlienBees Adapter. Selecting your flash here will optimize HyperSync for that specific model.
P2 HyperSync Flash Duration
This setting controls the automatic timings used by a receiving FlexTT5's P2/Flash port. A setting of 1-3 (FAST) will work best with a flash that has a short duration, like most hot shoe flashes. A 4-7 (MEDIUM) setting would be useful for a medium duration flash, such as an AlienBees B400 or an Elinchrom 300RX, and an 8-10 (SLOW) setting would fit best for a Profoto Acute series, or higher powered Elinchrom or AlienBees flash. Some experimentation may be necessary to find the best setting for your camera and flash combination.
