The MultiMAX features Wireless Transceiver Technology, which eliminates the need for a separate transmitter and receiver setup. Each MultiMAX provides the capability to send and/or receive digital signaling by a flip of a switch, similar to personal communicators. Among many advantages, a photographer can select between a transmitter or receiver mode as shooting assignments change.
The MultiMAX is the only radio system that offers True Trigger Confirmation feedback, up to 1600 feet away or more, without the need for signal repeaters or daisy-chained radios. Selecting which camera or flash zone fires is as easy as pressing a button in "Selective Quad Triggering" mode. The MultiMAX automatically confirms radio triggering on every zone simultaneously, with immediate visual and audible feedback on the MultiMAX (set for transmitter).
Utilizing LPA Design's patented microprocessor and software technology, the MultiMAX comes loaded with "Trigger Time Control" software. Used independently or with another PocketWizard, the MultiMAX provides several unique advanced tools for the working professional, all in one small package. With the "Trigger Time Control" software, it's easy and very convenient to create rear curtain sync effects with any camera, add depth of field using multi-pop mode, record events as they unfold using the intervalometer mode and much more.
- PLUS -
As with all PocketWizard Digital Radio Receivers, the PocketWizard MultiMAX is fully compatable with Sekonic’s new L-608 and L-358 exposure meters configured with the plug-in digital radio transmitter module. Now, you can trigger electronic flash units and/or cameras with your Sekonic L-608 or L-358 meter and PocketWizard Digital Radio Receivers. Welcome to Digital Wireless Freedom!
COMMUNICATION TECHNOLOGY FEATURES:
Wireless Transceiver Technology
The MultiMAX provides the capability to send or receive digital signaling by a flip of a switch, eliminating the need for a separate transmitter and receiver. Easy to read backlit LCD panel indicates which mode the MultiMAX is set for in all lighting conditions.
True Trigger Confirmation
Because the MultiMAX is a true transceiver, it can automatically confirm radio triggering. Radio triggering confirmation status is indicated on the MultiMAX's (set for Transmitter mode) display panel, up to 1600 feet away or more in all Quad-Triggering zone.
Selective Quad-Triggering
Provides the photographer with the convenience to activate or deactivate electronic flash units and or cameras wirelessly in four separately controllable zones (ABCD) without ever leaving the camera position.
Digital Radio Technology
The MultiMAX incorporates microprocessor controlled full digital communication with built-in selectable 32 complex (16/24 bit) digitally coded channels.
TRIGGER TIME CONTROLLER FEATURES:
More than just a radio slave, the MultiMAX offers advanced features that make today’s incredible images possible.
Rear Curtain Sync
Allows the photographer to delay the sync time to fire the electronic flash unit near the end of the exposure with precision of 1/10,000th of a second. Pre-programmed shutter speeds of 1 second to 1/60th of a second are easily selectable. Custom delay settings are possible through the MultiMax's delay time adjustment screen.
Precision Delays
In transmit mode it offers custom set delay times for remote units and or port 2 on the MultiMAX. In receiver mode, precision delay offers delay sequencing or camera/flash synchronization.
MultiPop (Mulitple Flash Exposures)
Provides unattended control of your flash exposures for multi-pops or exposures up to 10,000 flash exposures. Automatically triggers flash units for the desired number of exposures, then waits for the required electronic flash recycling time (user settable), from 1/100th sec. to 10 minutes.
Intervalometer
Photograph events as they unfold with the desired number of exposures, up to 10,000 exposures and time interval required up to 17 hours 46 minutes.
SpeedCycler
Provides sequential triggering for up to 4 camera's or 4 electronic flash units. The SpeedCycler is ideal for multi-angle camera shots or reducing recycle time by triggering the next flash in line, while the previous flash is charging, for faster motor driven flash photography assignments. The SpeedCycler mode is a big help for on-location shoots with battery-powered electronic flash. With four PocketWizard MultiMax transceivers connected to the motor ports of the cameras, the SpeedCycler mode wirelessly triggers up to four camera's sequentially, effectively quadrupling frames per second.
Lag Time Equalizer
This feature measures the actual time it takes from the moment the motor driven camera is activated to the time the shutter is open. The Lag Time Equalizer software, measures the delay of your motor driven camera with fine precision accuracy of 1/10,000th sec. resolution, assists the photographer in calibrating another camera, electronic flash unit or both for simultaneous triggering and exposure synchronizing.
Relay Mode
In this mode the MultiMAX acts as both a transmitter and a receiver triggering both your camera and flash from up to 1600 feet away without an inch of wire. Upon receiving a signal from a remote transmitter, the on camera receiver instantaneously switches to transmit mode and sends a signal to fire the remote flash units in sync with the remote camera.
