Stellar Control Modes: DT Nexus and Standalone

Stellar has the ability to switch between computer driven workflows and manual control. In computer control mode, Stellars are controlled from a computer integrating advanced tools and workflows. Standalone mode offers flash and continuous lighting control from the built in Control Dial.

In DT Nexus mode all settings are controlled from the computer for a fully software based workflow. Any lighting setup can be managed with limitless groupings of lights and 1/100th of a stop precision. In-situ color profiling with Fusion mode means an unrivaled level of color accuracy. This is most suitable for use in a copy stand or digitization station environment. If needed, a light can be disconnected from the rest of the system to function in Standalone mode. For instructions on connecting Stellars to DT Nexus, please see the DT Nexus User Guide.

Standalone mode is fully controlled with the Control Dial and Indicator Ring. Connected via ethernet (Cat-5 or greater), settings are shared across all lights with the exception of Offset Power. Offset Power enables asymmetrical power settings while keeping all connected lights synchronized up to a 2 stop range (4:1 ratio) with 1/24th stop light control. Standalone Mode is suitable for users who do not use DT Nexus or have simple lighting requirements.
