Mixing ControlTL and Standard Channels
It is easy to use ControlTL and Standard Channel radios together, combining both types of Channel into one setup.
How you make this work will depend primarily on the transmitter you are using.
ControlTL Transmitter
If you are using a MiniTT1 or FlexTT5 as a transmitter, you can incorporate Standard Channel remotes without
changing any radio settings. The MiniTT1 and FlexTT5 transmit both ControlTL and Standard Channels
simultaneously, allowing any PockwetWizard receiver to be triggered in sync. This enables you to use TTL or
power-controlled flashes alongside other manual flashes.
For this setup, simply match all the Channels on your radios. To see what Channels you are using on your ControlTL
transmitter, connect the radio to your computer via USB and launch the PocketWizard Utility. Navigate to the
Channel Tab and note both the ControlTL Transmit Channel and Standard Transmit Channel. By default the
MiniTT1 and FlexTT5 use ControlTL and Standard Channel 1 in Configuration 1 (C1).
Standard Channel Transmitter
If you are using a Standard Channel radio like the Plus III, PlusX, MultiMAX, or Plus II as a transmitter, you can
still use your FlexTT5s as receivers. The FlexTT5 can only receive on one type of Channel at a time. In order for the
FlexTT5 to receive on a Standard Channel, you will want to configure it for Basic Trigger Mode. Once the radio is
set to Basic Trigger, just match the receive Channel to that of your transmitter.
NOTE: We highly recommend using Basic Trigger Mode for FlexTT5s meant to receive on a Standard Channel.
Only use the "Use ControlTL for Receive" check-box if you need your receiving FlexTT5 to use Relay Mode to
trigger a TTL remote in turn.
