JD Hartman Posted February 21, 2019 Share Posted February 21, 2019 As described in the manual: Frequency SelectionThis feature allows fine-tuning of the frequency of the SkyPanel’s light output to adjust for slight flicker or roll bars that might occur when shooting at uncommon frame rates or shutter angles. Pick from 10 different frequencies that could reduce or eliminate small amounts of these image anomalies, while maintaining full control over intensity and color tuneability.

I think he is asking what the rate is at 1 and at 2 there are 10 to choose from. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ed Conley Posted February 21, 2019 Share Posted February 21, 2019 the manual doesnt list a frequency rate:"You can change the frequency in the fixture menu. Change the frequency, when you recognize flicker when in the camera picture or by your eyes. The default frequency is the highest frequency. You can change the frequency in 10 steps. Frequency 1 is the highest frequency, while frequency 10 is the lowest frequency setting." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ed Conley Posted February 21, 2019 Share Posted February 21, 2019 From my Skypanel source when I need to sub-rent:"We always reset our Skypanels to factory settings which means the frequency rate would be the highest when units go out. If flicker was visible on a scope or monitor, you would toggle through frequencies until image was stable. You would have to have an awful lot of information about the specific camera, shutter angle/speed, for any numerical value to have any meaning. In the end, you would still have to evaluate on monitor or scope. " Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Tilburey Posted February 23, 2019 Author Share Posted February 23, 2019 Thanks JD. Ed You're absolutely right. And thanks for the response. With just about every other fixture I can adjust the frequency specifically, 1k,2.5k etc but to match skypanels to the system is more of a trial and error situation. I'm wondering if anyone has put a scope on an S60 to find more detail. Thanks again.. DT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JD Hartman Posted February 23, 2019 Share Posted February 23, 2019 I think he is asking what the rate is at 1 and at 2 there are 10 to choose from. Why would you ever need to know since the adjustment is by eye? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Tilburey Posted February 24, 2019 Author Share Posted February 24, 2019 Why would you ever need to know since the adjustment is by eye? Simplicity and knowledge. Fixture profiles. All good thought someone might know. cheers DT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Doran Posted February 24, 2019 Share Posted February 24, 2019 Hi David, You mention frequencies is the 1000Hz plus range, is the intent to use the Skypanels for high-speed photography? I'm sure you're already aware of it, but I would certainly recommend using the dedicated high-speed mode. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
