MultiMAX Operating Essentials

Relay Mode

In the Relay Mode the MultiMAX acts as both a transmitter and a receiver.

This allows a single MultiMAX to receive a signal and trigger the camera connected to it on one channel and then transmit a signal to trigger a remote flash on another channel.

Using Relay mode you can trigger a remote camera in sync with a
remote flash wirelessly up to 1600 feet away.

   

Either:
1) Mount the MultiMAX to the camera's hot shoe
or
2) Connect via PORT 1 (CAMERA) to the camera's PC socket via the supplied miniphone-to-PC cord (MP1).

 
       
Connect a MultiMAX to a camera's motor drive port via PORT 2 (FLASH) and a Pre-Release cable (preferred for best performance).    
       
Turn the MultiMAX on to TRANSMIT.    
       
Press the up/down buttons to select channel 20, on which it will TRANSMIT.    
       

Switch the Unit to RECEIVE mode.

   
       
Press the up/down buttons to select channel 22, on which it will RECEIVE.    
       
Press L to activate RELAY Mode.
   
       

"RLY" and a channel number will appear at the bottom right corner of the screen.

In this example, the unit will RECEIVE on channel 22 and TRANSMIT on channel 20.

   
       
Connect a MultiMAX to a flash unit, and set it to RECEIVE on channel 20.    
       

Using a third MultiMAX unit, turn it on to TRANSMIT (or any PocketWizard transmitter or a Sekonic meter with RT-32 module set to the same channel and Quad Zones if necessary).

Press the TEST button (or measure button with a Sekonic) to trigger the camera (on channel 22), which will in turn trigger the remote flash unit (on channel 20).
