Power
AC Input
The FreeStyle 140 LED DMX Controller is powered AC and includes an IEC
connection. It also includes a 12ft power cord with a locking IEC connector.
The FreeStyle 140 LED DMX has a built-in power supply with universal input from 100-240VAC.
Ambient Operating Temperature
The FreeStyle 140 LED DMX is designed to operate at temperatures from 14°F to
104°F (-10°C to 40°C).
DC Input
The FreeStyle 140 LED DMX can also be operated on 24VDC (input range 18-36VDC)
through a 3-Pin XLR.
The pin polarity is:
- Pin # 1 – Ground
- Pin # 2 + 18-36VDC
- Pin # 3 not used
Note:
A low voltage warning will display if input DC voltage is under 18VDC.
Photo example: LOW VDC: 16
FreeStyle 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
X12-F425
The FreeStyle 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 Controller
The Controller can be mounted to a stand with a ballast mount accessory,
MTP-BAL1 and mafer clamp.
MTP-BAL1
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.
- MTP-L: Kino 41 Lollipop w/ 3/8” Pin (10mm)
- MTP-LBC: Kino 41 Lollipop w/ Baby Rcvr Curve (16mm)
- MTP-LBS: Kino 41 Lollipop w/ Baby Rcvr Short (16mm)
Snap Box & Snap Grid
The SnapBox accessory is a lightweight fabric tailor-made for the
FreeStyle Air. It is attached with velcro straps. The removable grid cloth attaches to the SnapBox with Velcro.
DFS-FA FreeStyle Air SnapBox w/ 2 x Diffusion
The SnapGrid accessory is constructed of pre-stretched fireproof fabric with a built-in stainless steel frame. It unfolds and snaps into place.
This model requires the use with the corresponding SnapBox; it is not designed to be used by itself.

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.
