Introduction
Thank you for selecting the SkyPanel LED softlight from ARRI.
The SkyPanel is a compact, ultra-bright and high-quality LED softlight. It is much more efficient than a softlight with a conventional light source.
The SkyPanel combines the advantages of the LED technology with the characteristic of a conventional softlight. The Sky-
Panel integrates seamless into established working practice.
Lighting designers as well as Studios don’t need to change its workflow.The optical system produces a soft, homogeneous light field.
The different models of the SkyPanel emit white light with a fixed color temperature or colored light with adjustable color
temperature and adjustable green / magenta saturation (see
“Specification” on page 72). The light spectrum is optimized for
excellent color rendition and fulfills perfect the demands of modern, digital cameras. All models of the SkyPanel can be controlled using the common DMX512-A protocol, the Art-Net protocol or the fixture menu.
The SkyPanel is powered by AC power or a battery pack.
Please find more detailed information in section “To Power the
Features
Light Field
The SkyPanel offers the same functionality as a conventional softlight.
Even Light Field
The SkyPanel softlight produces a homogeneous, single-shadow light field, delivering natural results.
Vibrant Colors, Full Spectrum Lighting
True-to-life color rendition is an outstanding feature of the
SkyPanel. The fully tuneable white light of the C version can be adjusted for different skin tones, camera sensors and mixed light environments. Full gamut color mixing enables the rendition of all color shades. The extensive gel library (from firmware version 2.0) offers a wide range of familiar colors at the user’s fingertips.
Cool Light Beam
The SkyPanel does not emit any infrared or UV radiation and thus does not forward heat, making actors feel comfortable in the light beam.

Properties
Guiding Rails
Diffuser plates and other accessories for shaping the light like a barndoor are inserted in the locking guiding rails at the front of the fixture.
Stirrup
The stirrup provides high strength with minimum weight. The external power supply unit can be mounted on the stirrup. An optional, pole operated yoke allows full operation of pan and tilt from the floor and is therefore a popular choice for many studios.
Tilt-Lock
The high strength tilt-lock provides extreme secure locking. It eliminates movement and slippage and ensures that the
SkyPanel will stay where you put it.
Control
All functions of the SkyPanel are controllable through DMX or
Art-Net. The SkyPanel is also fully RDM compatible (both via
DMX and Art-Net with suitable controllers) and is equipped with a feedback channel for reporting all set parameters including system status.

To set the dimming curve
The SkyPanel supports four dimming curves. The dimming curves are global: They affect both the intensity control via the fixture menu or DMX and Art-Net.
• Linear: The intensity changes proportional to the encoder I/S
(4) or the channel value.
• Exponential: The resolution is high at lower intensity levels and low at higher intensity levels. Use this dimming curve when you need a high resolution at low intensity levels.
31
32
• Logarithmic: The resolution is low at lower intensity levels and high at higher intensity levels. Use this dimming curve when you need a high resolution at high intensity levels.
• „S“ curve: The resolution is both high at lower and higher intensity levels and low at intensity levels in between. Use this dimming curve, when you need a high resolution at low and high intensity levels.
To set the dimming curve:
• Press the MENU button (10) to open the fixture menu.

To set a special control mode
The SkyPanel supports two special control modes. The special control modes are global: They affect both the intensity control via the fixture menu or DMX and Art-Net.
• Low End Mode: The Low End Mode optimizes the dimmer quality at low intensity levels and enables SkyPanel to generate accurate CCTs with high color rendition and smooth dimming at very low light levels. The Low End Mode can cause flickering when used with cameras shooting at high frame rates.
• Tungsten Mode: The tungsten Mode can mimic the dimming curve and strike on-and-off effect of a traditional tungsten lamp. The CCT warms as the light is dimmed and when the intensity drops to zero quickly there is a short afterglow of warm light. This mode is perfect for mixing the SkyPanel with tungsten sources or for producing a familiar effect.

Fixture Control
The SkyPanel offers, depending on the model, up to 19 control modes. Use the 8 bit modes (mode 1 and 2) with basic controllers like dimmer consoles.
ARRI recommends the use of the 16 bit modes in combination with controllers supporting 16 bit resolution to obtain best results. The high resolution provides smooth dimming and precise color adjustments.
The coarse / fine modes utilize two channels for most parameters and provide higher resolution compared to the 8 bit modes in combination with controllers that do not support true 16 bit resolution. One channel sets the coarse value between 0 and
255 of the function. Each step is divided in 256 increments using the fine channel. This way it is possible to control the light very precise without using a true 16 bit resolution.
CCT and RGBW (only SkyPanel-C)
This mode provides control of intensity, color temperature, +/- green and individual channels for controlling the red, green, blue and white color.
CCT (only SkyPanel-C)
Simple white-only mode. It is used when the number of available channels of the controller is very limited. It provides control of intensity, color temperature and +/- green.
CCT & HSI (only SkyPanel-C)
Provides control of intensity, color temperature, +/- green, hue and saturation (HSI = hue, saturation, intensity). In HSI mode the color and intensity is very even over the fixtures as it is controlled using color algorithms which take the tolerances of the light engines into account during calculation.
RGBW (only SkyPanel-C)
Simple mode for controlling the overall intensity and the red, green, blue and white intensity when only a limited number of channels is available.
HSI (only SkyPanel-C)
Simple mode for controlling hue, saturation and intensity when only a limited number of DMX channels is available.
GEL (only SkyPanel-C)
The GEL mode offers an extensive color filter list. The color temperature has two settings, 3.200 K and 5.600 K. The intensity can be controlled as usual.
xy Coordinates (only SkyPanel-C)
The xy mode determines the color displayed by its xy coordinates in the CIE 1931 diagram. Set the x and y coordinate with
8 bit or 16 bit resolution. The white point has a color temperature of 3.200K. One channel determines the transition type when fading from one color to another color.
Please find a detailed description of all modes in chapter
Note: Depending on the selected mode the channels required for each SkyPanel should be allocated in the controller to provide independent control of all SkyPanels connected to the controller.

Art-Net
From firmware version 2.0 the SkyPanel supports Art-Net. Art-
Net is a network protocol for controlling devices.
Art-Net supports all modes of the SkyPanel.
Here is a brief explanation of some basic terms being used by
Art-Net. For more detailed information, please visit the web site of the Art-Net developers: www.artisticlicence.com.
Art-Net IP Address
When setting the IP address manually, please take care the address is in the range 2.0.0.1 to 2.255.255.255 (Network switch off) or 10.0.0.1 to 10.255.255.255 (Network switch on). Any other range is not according to the Art-Net standard and problems might occur.
Art-Net Net
A group of 16 consecutive Sub-Nets or 256 consecutive Universes is referred to as a net. There are 128 Nets in total.
Sub-Net
A group of 16 consecutive universes is referred to as a subnet. (Not to be confused with the subnet mask).
Universe
A single DMX512 frame of 512 channels is referred to as a
Universe.
Art-Net Merge Mode
The Art-Net protocol allows multiple nodes or controllers to transmit ArtDmx data to the same universe.Merging is limited to two sources, any additional sources will be ignored by the
Node.
Art-Net Gateway
With enabled Art-Net gateway the SkyPanel makes all 512 channels of the used universe available at its DMX connectors.
Please follow the information given in chapter “DMX” on page 41 when using the DMX data.
The menu „Art-Net Settings“ contains all parameters to set up a SkyPanel in an Art-Net network. Please find a detailed de-
scription in the chapter “Fixture Menu” on page 42.
DMX
To control the SkyPanel via DMX you need a DMX data link.
The SkyPanel has 5-pin locking XLR sockets for DMX / RDM data input and output. The default pin-out of both sockets is:
Pin 1 = Shield
Pin 2 = DMX Data - (cold)
Pin 3 = DMX Data + (hot)
Pin 4 = DMX Data - (cold)
Pin 5 = DMX Data + (hot)
Pins 4 and 5 are not used by the SkyPanel but are bridged between input and output sockets. These pins can therefore be used as a pass-through connection for an additional data signal if required.
Do not overload the data link.You must not connect more than
32 SkyPanels per data link. Depending on the channel requirements the address space of one data link (512 channels) may not be enough to control all products of the installation. You may set more than one SkyPanel to identical DMX addresses to obtain identical behavior. For independent control every
SkyPanel needs to be assigned an individual address range.
If you need to control more SkyPanels individual, you need to set up additional DMX data links.
Tips for a Reliable Data Transmission
• Use shielded twisted-pair cable designed for RS-485 devices or CAT 6 network cables. Standard microphone cable cannot transmit control data reliably over long runs. 24 AWG cable is suitable for runs up to 300 meters (1000 ft.). Heavier gauge cable and/or an amplifier is recommended for longer runs.
• To split the data link, use a DMX splitter. Use an RDM compatible splitter when you use the RDM functionality.
• Install a DMX termination plug on the last product of every
DMX data link. Terminate the DMX data link on both ends, when you use the RDM functionality. Ask your system specialist for details.
To Connect the Data Link
• Connect the DMX data output from the controller to the data input (male XLR) of the first product on the data link.
• Run the data link from the data output (female XLR) to the data input of the next product.
• Terminate the data link by connecting a 120 Ohm, 0.25 Watt resistor between the data 1 hot (+) and cold (-) conductors
(and between data 2 hot and cold if used) at the data output of the last product on the link.

Error Remedy
Controller over temperature.
STATUS LED lit up red.
Light engine over temperature
Missing LED supply.
Calibration data of light engine faulty or EEPROM error.
Let the SkyPanel cool down. The STATUS indicator changes to green when the SkyPanel has cooled down. Turn the dimmer knob to „0“ or send an intensity value „0“ via DMX to activate the light engine again.
See E.003
The LED power supply is faulty. Please contact the ARRI service.
WARNING: Loss of calibration data. This error can only be fixed by re-calibrating the light engine. Please contact the ARRI service.
Invalid PWM value calculation Notice: The SkyPanel can be used on. This message is more a notification than an error.
Invalid values during calculation See E.007
Invalid values during calculation See E.007
Fan error. The fan speed deviates or the fan doesn’t run at all.
Set the fan to LOW or High Speed and see if it starts rotating, in order to determine if there is an electrical malfunction. All mechanical tests or repairs may only be carried out by a trained service technician.
Fixture menu module not be detected.
Temperature sensor(s) are defective or deviation within
NTC values too high.
Calibration data faulty.
Watchdog error
LED channel faulty
If the fixture menu is working, error E.011 can be ignored. However, if the fixture menu remains dark (no LED lights up) we recommend to contact the ARRI service. They can then carry out detailed analyses.
One or more temperature sensors are defective or the deviation within the individual NTCs or BNTCs exceeds the variation tolerance of 12° C / 54° F. Check the error log (LSeries
Manager) to see which temperature sensors are affected. Contact the ARRI service.
WARNING: Loss of calibration data. Fixture needs to be re-calibrated.
Notice: The SkyPanel can be used on. This message is more a notification than an error.

Remedy
Let the SkyPanel cool down. The STATUS indicator changes to green when the SkyPanel has cooled down. Turn the dimmer knob to „0“ or send an intensity value „0“ via DMX to activate the light engine again.
Battery voltage below 20.5 V. Change the battery pack or switch to AC power.
Switch the SkyPanel off and on again. If the problem persists, please contact the ARRI service.
The diffusor was removed. The protection circuit is active (only RP-version).
This will be seen if the update process has detected an error during the update. Please look at the error log for more information to see which model or component had a problem with the update.
This will happen if the flash disc has a problem with its file system.
The Boost board can not be identified during startup. Switch the SkyPanel off and on again. If the problem persists, please contact the ARRI service.
The 12V power is missing during startup. Please contact the ARRI service.
The 5V power is missing during startup. Please contact the ARRI service.
A master fixture detected a valid DMX signal on the data link. It de-activates the master mode.
ARRI Lighting Service Manager
Please find information about the features and the functionality of the ARRI Lighting Service Manager in the user manual for the
ARRI Lighting Service Manager, which can be downloaded with the ARRI Lighting Service Manager software-bundle from the
ARRI web site www.arri.com/lightingsoftware free of charge.
Protocol
Protocol V4.2 is set as default. Use the ALSM to change to Protocol V4.1 or V3.4. ARRI recommends to reserve 4 channels more for each fixture when using Protocol V3.4. This way you do not need to change the patch when you want to use additional features which will become available with Protocol V4.2.
The Protocol V4.2 uses 4 Channels more.
