E L - S kyport Software
EL-Skyport Studio Management Software
The latest release of the EL-Skyport software
includes exciting features for photographers
who are optimising their digital workflow by
using MAC™ or WIN™ operating systems. The
modern, digital studio management software
operates Style RX compacts, Ranger RX battery
power packs, Digital RX studio power packs and
Quadra RX battery units in all functions and adds
even more features to EL- RX flash units such
as Flash-Counter and Stobing-Effects. For the
Quadra RX we offer the Firmware update option.
The Quadra RX is the first unit, which accepts
a wireless Firmware update. More Elinchrom
units will offer this useful feature in the future,
which saves money and time. Another improved
feature is the Photo-Job function. Photo-Job can
simulate and store a complete Studio setup with
EL-flash units, reflectors and all unit settings. In
addition images of the setup or the results can
be imported. The data files can be submitted to
another photographer, who can import all data
into his ELS software to simulate studio setups,
if required. Students, or anybody who wants to
learn more about lighting can exchange results in
photography forums.
Software Features:
The program automatically searches for “RX” units. Unit control displays are different, depending if
compacts, power pack and battery units are activated and found in the system.
