HUB Wireless Remote

Introduction

The HUB remote functions as a standard trigger, similar to the CyberSync Trigger Transmitter. It provides necessary communication between any camera brand and a Paul C. Buff, Inc. flash unit. To utilize TTL and HSS capabilities of a Paul C. Buff, Inc. flash unit equipped with these features (e.g., the LINK), a camera-specific version of the HUB is required.

Attaching the HUB to Your Camera

Slide the bottom of the HUB onto your camera's hot shoe. Turn the locking wheel clockwise to secure the HUB to your camera.

Charging the HUB

To charge the HUB, plug the USB-C side of the included charging cable directly into the HUB. Then, plug the USB-A side into a wall outlet connector.

What's Included

• 1 HUB Wireless Remote
• 1 USB-A to USB-C Charging Cable
• 1 Rechargeable Internal Lithium-ion Battery

Includes a 2-Year Factory Warranty.

HUB Overview

The HUB device is shown from a top-down perspective. Key components are labeled with numbers 1 through 7:

• 1. CHARGING PORT: Located on the side of the device.
• 2. SYNC JACK: A port for synchronization.
• 3. ROTARY WHEEL: A dial used for navigation and selection.
• 4. TOP HOT SHOE: A mounting point on the top of the device.

• 7. LOCKING BOTTOM HOT SHOE: A mounting point on the bottom, noted as camera brand specific.

Powering the HUB On / Off

Press and hold the POWER button, located on the right side of the HUB, for two seconds to power the device on or off.

Sending a Test Fire

Press the rotary wheel, located on the left side of the HUB, to send a test fire to any flash units that are on the same frequency.

The rear display shows key information:

• 8. FREQUENCY: Displays the current operating frequency (e.g., '15').
• 9. TTL/MAN and HSS: Indicates the current mode, such as TTL (Through-The-Lens metering), Manual, or HSS (High-Speed Sync).
• 10. BATTERY INDICATOR: Shows the remaining battery level.
• 11. BLUETOOTH: Indicates the status of the Bluetooth connection.

Setting the Frequency

The FREQUENCY ranges from 1 to 16. To set the frequency, turn the ROTARY WHEEL until 'FREQUENCY' appears on the display. Press the ROTARY WHEEL to enter the FREQUENCY section. Turn the ROTARY WHEEL until your desired frequency appears. Press the ROTARY WHEEL again to confirm your selection.

Adjusting the Display Brightness

To adjust the display brightness, turn the ROTARY WHEEL until 'BRIGHTNESS' appears on the display. Press the ROTARY WHEEL to enter the BRIGHTNESS section. Turn the ROTARY WHEEL until your desired brightness level appears.

Bluetooth

By default, BLUETOOTH is ON when the HUB is first activated. To turn BLUETOOTH ON or OFF, turn the ROTARY WHEEL until 'BLUETOOTH' appears on the display. Press the ROTARY WHEEL to enter the BLUETOOTH section. Turn the ROTARY WHEEL to toggle between ON and OFF. Press the ROTARY WHEEL to confirm your selection.

TTL Mode

To set the HUB into TTL mode, turn the ROTARY WHEEL until 'TTL' appears on the display. Press the ROTARY WHEEL to enter the TTL section. Turn the ROTARY WHEEL to toggle between TTL and MAN (for manual). Press the ROTARY WHEEL to confirm your selection.

HSS Mode

The HUB will enter HSS mode automatically when your camera is set above its maximum sync speed. The HUB will also supersede any settings found on the LINK. For example, if the LINK is set to COLOR MODE but you are shooting above your camera's max sync speed, the HUB will adjust the LINK and place it into HSS MODE.

About

To access the serial number, current firmware version, and FCC ID within the HUB interface, first turn on the HUB and use the rotary dial to scroll to the 'ABOUT' section. Once 'ABOUT' appears on the display, press the rotary dial to enter the section. Finally, scroll using the rotary dial to view each item.
