Set
of two transmitter/receiver units. The Pulsar has four separate channels, enabling the
photographer to isolate various light sources or to combine them and
fire them all at once without leaving the camera. Additionally, the
Pulsar has a studio selector switch, which provides isolation from
other Pulsar units using the same channel, and allowing up to six
different systems to operate independently in the same studio or
shooting space. It also has a five-way channel selector switch that
allows the photographer to select all flash heads to fire
simultaneously or to fire up to four heads individually.
The Pulsar features radio instead of IR transmission, allowing it to
trigger around corners and through walls. It is also unaffected by high
ambient light or low-light situations. The Pulsar's low-voltage
operation takes the fear out of connecting an expensive digital camera
to a high voltage studio lighting system. Other features include a
co-axial PC sync out connection that allows photographers to use their
existing sync leads, a DC input socket that allows for long-term
installations, and a test button that will allow the Pulsar to be
tested without shooting any pictures.
Each Pulsar is two units in one and can be switched to either Tx
(transmitter) or Rx (receiver) mode. Once switched on, the indicator
lamp on top of the unit will blink approximately every three seconds to
show that the unit is working. This same LED will light to show when
the unit is transmitting or receiving a signal. The LED also acts as a
low battery warning and double blinks when the batteries need
changing.
To physically attach the Pulsar (when it's being used in receiver mode)
to a flash unit, a bungee cord and connector plate are included. Using
the elastic cord, the plate can be attached to the light unit or stand.
The hot shoe slides onto the connector plate and is locked into
position, providing a simple, effective and safe design.
The Pulsar comes with two AAA batteries, connection lead, connector
plate, and bungee cord.
*Note: You must have at least two units for triggering. One
for the camera to transmit, and another to trigger your light
source.
