The CyberSync™ 2.4 GHz Radio Remote Control System

The NEW CyberSync™ 2.4GHz trigger-transmitter and companion CyberSync™ Trigger-receiver are the first of a series of advanced remote control components designed by Paul C. Buff and made in America. 

• Extended operating range – High signal integrity and error immunity
  
  
• 2.4GHz band – 16 selectable
  frequencies for eliminating interference
  
  
• CST Battery: Uses lithium coin cell CR2450 battery (3VDC, 540mAH). Two year typical life.
  
  
• Tripper-only and advanced remote control models

The CyberSync™ system is an advanced binary encoded system with a high degree of error security to assure freedom from false tripping. The system employs sixteen selectable operating frequencies within the 2.4GHz band to allow rejection of interference signals as well as interaction from other photographers who might be using radio controls in the area. This is vastly superior technology to Asian designed trippers that use pulse width encoding with no error detection.

 Our testing indicates a usable range of up to 350 feet, depending on obstructions such as walls or adverse conditions such as metal buildings, bodies of water, etc.

CyberSync™ Battery Powered Trigger Receiver (click image to enlarge)

The CyberSync™ transmitter/receiver pair may be used to trigger all Paul C. Buff, Inc.™ studio flash units as well as most other flash brands employing a standard phone jack or mini phone jack sync input. Connection to flash units using “H” or “PC” style connections is possible with suitable adapter cables.

 It is generally advisable to use a separate receiver for each flash unit in your system, though it is feasible to use only one receiver connected to one of your flash units and allowing additional flash units to fire via their flash-sensitive trippers. This method, however, will not result in freedom from tripping by flashes from other photographers who might be shooting in the same area. If you are using our LG4X or RC1 wired remote system it is possible to connect one receiver to the wired remote control and to allow the connected lights to fire from the remote wiring without interaction with other photographers.

REPEATER MODE
Assume you are lighting a scene several hundred feet from your camera location. Position a CSR or CSRB midway between the camera and the scene and place it in repeater mode. When you fire the camera the repeater will receive the camera signal, then regenerate it for transmission to the more distant receivers. If a flash unit is connected to the repeater it will fire normally from the camera signal. The more distant flash units may also fire from the camera signal if they are close enough. If not, they will fire from the regenerated signal of the repeater.
Using a repeater delays the signal by an additional 1/4000 second. The resulting latency of 1/2000 second total is still fast enough to allow the camera exposure time to be set one click below the camera’s maximum sync speed in most uses. It is not generally advisable to use more than one repeater in a setup. If two repeaters are used and both receive the same transmission, both will regenerate at the same instant and interfere with one another.

CSRB ships with:

• 3.5mm (1/8") male to 3.5mm (1/8") male
• 3.5mm (1/8") male to 1/4" male
• 3.5mm (1/8") to PC

This small hotshoe mounted flash trigger transmitter responds to the camera sync signal and sends the radio signal on one of sixteen selectable frequencies (Banks). The use of selectable frequencies provides increased integrity in the presence of interference signals over other systems that use a single frequency and merely vary the encoding to determine operating channels or banks.

 The transmitter contains a lithium coin cell type battery in a convenient slide out tray for easy replacement. Battery life is in excess of one year in typical use, without requiring an on/off switch. Inexpensive replacement batteries are commonly available at drug stores such as Walgreens, etc. There are no wires or cords involved as the transmitter simply slides onto your hotshoe and is always ready to go. A Test button is provided for firing the system manually.

CST's other features:

CyberSync™ will not fire Sekonic Meters with the Pocket Wizard Module. These meters can only be fired to or from a Pocket Wizard as the frequencies and coding are proprietary to Pocket Wizard.
