Understanding HyperSync and High Speed Sync
66
• You can achieve similar results to Reduced Clipping manually with a non-ControlTL compatible flash by
following the directions for the FlexTT5 P2 Port and trying to eliminate clipping at your highest shutter speeds.
• You can achieve similar results to Reduced Clipping manually with a radio receiving on a Standard Channel
(meaning a (Plus II, Plus III, PlusX, MultiMAX, FlexTT5 in Basic Trigger Mode), or internal PocketWizard
receiver built in to your flash.) This is done by following the directions for the How to Configure the ControlTL
Transmitter - HyperSync Flash Duration For Standard Channels section, and trying to eliminate clipping at your
highest shutter speeds.
Note: Using Speedlites or the Einstein E-640 for HyperSync with HyperSync is most effective at full power with
these flashes because of their IGBT design. HSS/Auto-FP is suggested for users shooting above X-sync with
Speedlites. You can read more about IGBT designed flashes here: http:/ / www. paulcbuff. com/ sfe-flashduration.

Highest Energy
Highest Energy attempts to get as much flash energy into the image as possible. This will reduce gradation at lower
HyperSync speeds, however it can result in black bars or clipping in the frame at the highest shutter speeds. For
many situations this can yield useful results as clipping can be cropped out of the image, or the clipping area is
exposed by ambient light primiarily.
Highest Energy
Highest Energy benefits photographers:
• Using HyperSync speeds just above X-sync
• Who need as much action stopping flash power in the image as possible (remember that for HyperSync, longer
flash durations are better)
• Where gradation is not acceptable
• In any situation where cropping is an option
"Highest Energy" is selected on the ControlTL receiver, as shown on the All ControlTL Radios – HyperSync
Automation page.
• You can achieve similar results to Highest Energy manually with a non-ControlTL compatible flash by following
the directions for the FlexTT5 P2 Port and trying to eliminate clipping at lower HyperSync speeds without
"clipping" visible at the bottom of your frame.
