Photo example: LOW VDC:16

Free Style Harness

The harness connects directly to the controller. Connect the harness to the controller. Align the key ways on the harness connector with the oval Logo at the top with the circular receptacle on the ballast. Rotate the silver locking ring until it clicks into the lock position.

Extension Cable

The Free Style LED fixture can operate remotely from the controller with the extension cable up to 50ft (2 x 25ft).
Remote operation of the controller provides more rigging options.

To connect Harness to Extension Cable, align oval Logos on the Harness and Extension. Rotate the silver locking ring until it clicks into the locked position.

Mounting the Fixture

The standard mount (MTP-BG41S) comes with a 5/8” Baby Receiver Short Lollipop that clamps into a grip head. The ball and socket mount allows the fixture to be oriented in a broad range of angles.

Align the center pin of the mounting plate to the center hole on the mating plate.

Rotate plate clockwise until the four shoulder rivets drop into the receptacle. A locking pin will snap into place when the plate is properly seated.

The yellow wire loop provides attachment points for a safety chain.

To remove the plate, pull up on the locking pin and reverse the mounting procedure.

Turn the knob to loosen or tighten the mount.

Lollipops are interchangeable.

Camera LUT

The Camera LUT (Look-up Tables) feature harmonizes the Kino Flo light sources to the camera. Depending on the camera and the Kelvin setting, some differences are very subtle, while others can be more dramatic.

The corrections are applied as a CIE xy correction at each CCT (Kelvin) setting.
The default setting is targeting the CIE xyz response (human eye).

Press the green menu button to the left of the display screen and scroll down to Camera LUT, then press the control knob. Menu with camera selection will be displayed. Turn the control knob and press to select camera setting:

C1 Arri Alexa
C2 Sony Venice
C3 Panavision DXL
C4 Panasonic Varicam

The camera code (C1 for Arri Alexa), for example, will appear on the main menu between DIM and CCT to designate that a camera setting is active.

Note: When the controller is reset, the camera settings will go to Kino Flo Default mode.

Color Space

Color Space defines the RGB color space used and only affects color – not Kelvin. It is used in RGB mode and Hue Angle and Saturation. There are a few instances in the FX (Effects) mode that are also affected when color is used. The RGB color space defines the value of Red, Green, and Blue primaries (in CIE xy) and the white point is fixed at 6500 Kelvin.

Press the green menu button to the left of the display screen and scroll down to Color Space, then press the control knob. Menu with color selection will be displayed. Turn the control knob and press to select Color Space options:

rec 709 / sRGB
P3 D65
rec 2020

The color space rec 709 / sRGB is commonly used on computer monitors, SDTV and HDTV television. There are slight gamma variations between rec 709 / sRGB, but not enough to separate into 2 color spaces.

The color space P3   D65 is a common color space for digital movie projection. The color space rec 2020 is used in ultra high definition television (UHDTV).

The color space is used when the controller is set to the RGB mode and when set to the Hue Angle/ Saturation mode.

In RGB mode – the color space designation will be displayed at the top of the menu. When changing the Red, Blue or Green values, the Kelvin will be locked in at 6500 for all color spaces. When the Kelvin is locked in, CCT will be displayed as CCT*. When using Green/Magenta the CCT value is unlocked and color space selection has no impact.

In Hue Angle/Saturation mode – the color space designation will be displayed on the Gel line and GEL will be displayed as GEL and CCT will be displayed as CCT. The Color space will be displayed only when Hue Angle and Saturation are being used. When using Green/Magenta or Gel, the CCT will be unlocked and color space selection has no impact.
