Channels

Channels enable you to work with other photographers and to keep your triggering exclusive. Some channels operate on different frequencies to help you avoid interference. All PocketWizard radio slaves set to the same channel work together.

ControlTL uses a new channel system in addition to the Standard channel system used in other PocketWizard radios. The MiniTT1 Transmitter and FlexTT5 Transceiver can trigger all existing PocketWizard radios. They can also be taught channels (including new ControlTL channels) by existing PocketWizard transmitters. The FlexTT5 can operate as a receiver for any PocketWizard transmitter.

IMPORTANT: When a MiniTT1 or FlexTT5 is used as a transmitter, it always sends out 2 triggers, one ControlTL trigger on a ControlTL channel, and one Standard trigger on its channel. This enables you to use an E-TTL II system with other manual flashes. The ControlTL system synchronizes both triggers precisely.
