Cyber Commander is a highly sophisticated piece of equipment that allows you to control and display virtually every parameter of a complex studio flash setup of up to sixteen light units, right from your camera. All without wires, from up to 150’ away with a direct line-of-sight. The 16 user-selectable frequencies within a 2.4GHz band offers complete freedom from interference or misfiring from other photographers’ equipment.
In a single glance you can see and control the relative flashpower and modeling lamp brightness of all lights, from 1.56 to 6400WS per light.
You can measure the f-stop reading of each light both individually, in groups, or all together using a built-in high accuracy flashmeter. The flash meter allows ISO and exposure to be set, along with exact calibration from your lights to your camera.
Bracket your lights in any combination, with precise 1/10f digital steps, while automatically updating the f-stop and power levels without re-metering.
Cyber Commander will also automatically compensate for lights with different Watt-Second (WS) ratings and modeling lamp wattages, so you always see dead-accurate “what-you-see-is-what-you-get” (WYSIWYG) previews that are proportionate to flash power.
The digital readout shows camera f-stop, t.1 flash duration, color temperature, modeling watts, flash WS and the relative flashpower using the European standard numerical 0 to 10 scale. As you adjust the power, each parameter automatically updates.
Recycle beepers, slaves, model lamps, and even turning the lights on or off can all be done right from the camera, and settings can be saved to and retrieved from the included Micro SD card.
Extreme signal integrity is assured via 256 bit state-of-the-art encoding, and its extremely low delay of 1/4000 second allows sync speeds as short as 1/2500 second on compatible cameras.
Cyber Commander is the heart and soul of our CyberSync™ family of radio remote control components. Quite simply, it’s light years ahead of anything the photo world has ever seen.

THE MICRO-SD CARD
Cyber Commander has the capacity to save and retrieve up to 50 entire lighting setups in the Micro SD card and two additional setups in its internal memory. Saving a preset includes all setup parameters, light specs, names, power and modeling settings, grouping, frequency, channels, and flashmeter readings. The Micro SD card that ships pre-installed in Cyber Commander must be in place at all times when the device is in use. As you make changes to your setup, they are stored in the card. If you change batteries, the last setup you were using comes up automatically, with no intervention required. The exception, of course, being that your lights and modifiers must be in exactly the same positions as when a preset was saved, and your subject is placed at the same distance from where you took your meter readings. If any changes to the physical layout of the setup take place, it is advised to meter again to get accurate settings.MANAGING SETUP FILES
Since the Micro SD card contains important information, you are encouraged to back up these files to your computer and/or to a CD or DVD. This is easy to do on both a Mac or Windows computer. You only need a card reader with a Micro SD card slot, which will allow you to retrieve and add files as needed. It is recommended that you designate a CyberCommander settings folder on your computer to which you can periodically save your updated settings. Use caution when handling your Micro SD card and when copying and moving files, just as you would when dealing with image files from a shoot.GROUPS EXPLAINED
Cyber Commander has the capacity to organize your lights into eight different Groups. Lights enabled in a group will be affected simultaneously by power changes (bracketing), parameter changes, etc., and a Group may be metered such that only the enabled lights will contribute to the meter reading. Lights excluded from a Group will have their modeling lamps off and are disabled from firing while the Group is selected. If the camera or CST is activated while a Group is selected, the exposure will only come from those lights enabled in the selected Group.USING “NON+” RECEIVERS
If any non-Plus receivers are contained in your setup (not recommended), they will not be recognized by Cyber Commander during setup (see Step 3: “Open Studio”) and their presence will not be shown on the Cyber Commander screens. Thus they cannot be selectively fired or metered.However, if a CST transmitter is on the camera, it will still fire non-Plus receivers. If Cyber Commander is metered while in ALL mode, the non-Plus receivers will fire and will be included in the combined meter reading.
HIGH VOLUME STUDIOS
Cyber Commander works well in studios where the lights are typically left in the same position with the same modifiers, and where several styles of lighting are used for each client. This allows finely tuned lighting setups to be developed and stored. The photographer can rapidly select from the stored setups and quickly switch between them, generating a series of lighting styles all perfectly exposed, with no need to constantly meter or fire test shots.BRACKETING EXPLAINED
The term “bracketing” in photography involves making exposures at incremental settings to ensure a wide dynamic range of values is captured. For example, an exposure value of f8 at 1/200 second could be bracketed one stop down to 1/400 second, or one stop up to 1/100 second.
The Cyber Commander similarly allows you to bracket settings based on an initial meter reading, ensuring both proper exposure and desired outcome. This is done by selecting ALL or GROUP, allowing the adjustment of every light proportionate to its starting point.
APPROPRIATE FORMATTING
Cyber Commander uses a standard Micro SD card with capacity from 512KB to 2GB, formatted to “FAT16”. This formatting is normally already in place on a new card. Micro SD cards formatted to “FAT32” or other formats will not be recognized by Cyber Commander, nor will “Micro SD HC” cards designed for high definition video camcorders. Please contact Paul C. Buff, Inc. Technical Help at 1-800-443-5542 if you have any questions about anything discussed here.FIRMWARE UPGRADES
In the event of future firmware updates to Cyber Commander, the needed data file and installation instructions can be downloaded from our web site, or can be emailed to you. This is a quick and simple process that involves placing your Micro SD card into your card reader, following the instructions for writing to your Micro SD card, reinserting the card into your Cyber Commander and following the screen prompts. For safety, if you have a current backup file of your Cyber Commander data, you can add the downloaded firmware to this file and then write all of this to a completely new Micro SD card, thereby leaving your present card intact.EQUALIZING MODELING LAMPS
Setup instructions in this manual presume that you have set all modeling lamps to TRACK. This means your modeling lamp will get proportionately brighter or dimmer based on the power setting of your light. If all flash units have the same maximum flashpower and all modeling lamps are the same wattage, then you do not need to equalize your modeling lamps because they bear the same relationship to flashpower. But if you are mixing lights with different flashpower ratings and modeling watts, you will not see an accurate exposure preview from the modeling lamps. Assume, for example, you are mixing two AlienBees B1600 units (640WS) and two B800 units (320WS), and that all units have 150W model lamps. Even though the B800’s are half as powerful as the B1600’s, their 150 watt bulbs ALL still put out 150 watts! So, in order to obtain accurate previews, you must adjust the B800s’ modeling lamps to half of those in the B1600 units. Cyber Commander allows you to alter the relationship of modeling power to flash power by Channel, Group or All, while still tracking flashpower changes.EU NUMBERS EXPLAINED
When lights having different wattsecond ratings are mixed in a studio, terms like “1/4 power” or “-3f” don’t tell the user how much light one unit outputs compared to another. In order to allow a direct comparison between lights of different WS ratings, several European manufacturers have instituted a numbering system that directly compares lights in 1/10 f-stop increments without requiring calculations or WS math conversions.
The EU Number defines a 6400WS power level as EU10.0, and each 1/10 f-stop change is represented by a one digit change in the decimal. Thus, EU9.9 is 1/10f less power than EU10.0. A full f-stop change is thus a one digit change before the decimal point.
- EU9.0 = 3200WS • EU8.0 = 1600WS
- EU7.0 = 800WS • EU6.0 = 400WS
- EU5.0 = 200WS • EU4.0 = 100WS
- EU3.0 = 50WS • EU2.0 = 25WS
- EU1.0 = 12.5WS • EU0.0 = 6.25WS
- EU-1.0 = 3.13WS • EU-2.0 = 1.56WS.
If your main light is EU6.4 and your fill is EU5.3, you quickly know your fill light is 1.1f less powerful than your main light.

scroll to the “SETUP” menu, then push it up or down
to scroll FUNCTION to “FREQUENCY”.
Select by pressing in on the joystick.
"SELECT FREQUENCY” menu will appear. |
 |
2. Scroll “FREQUENCY” to the same frequency your receivers are set to. Now the whole system is on the same frequency. |
 |
3. Now, scroll MENU button (RIGHT JOYSTICK) to the right to return to SETUP menu. Scroll “FUNCTION” to “OPEN MEMORY” and press “SELECT”. |  |
4. Scroll the “MEMORY” button until “STUDIO” is displayed. The top of the screen will say “OPEN ALL FROM STUDIO”. Select “OPEN” by pushing down on the RIGHT JOYSTICK. |
 |
5. Next, scroll MENU to the right to return to the SETUP screen. Scroll to “LIGHT SETTINGS” and SELECT. The LIGHT UNIT SETTINGS screen will appear (#5). Assuming you want all lights on the same settings, scroll the left joystick to “ALL”. Scroll down through “PARAMETERS” to toggle through the available areas. Use the “SETTING” joystick to set each of these to the desired state.
Note: On CSR+/CSRB+ receivers, COLOR MODE, SLAVE CELL and RECYCLE INDICATOR has no effect. POWER STANDBY turns the Flash and Model Lamp to zero. |
 |
6. Next, scroll MENU right to return to the SETUP screen and scroll FUNCTION to “SPEC LIGHTS”. Assuming your lights are not all the same, you will need to follow this procedure one channel at a time. Scroll to Channel 01 and SELECT. The DEFINE LIGHT UNIT screen (#7) will appear. |
 |
7. SELECT ALIENBEES, WHITE LIGHTNING, ZEUS OR OTHER, then select “MORE”. |  |
8. Select the specific model and configuration of the light on Channel 01 using the “VERSION’ joystick. In this example, WLX1600 with the power switch set to Full has been selected. Select ”MORE” and continue to the next page. |
 |
9. Select the wattage of the modeling lamp (WLX1600 normally has a 250W lamp, but when set to 1/4 Power, 60W should be specified instead).
Press ENTER. Channel 01 light specification is now complete. The display should return to Screen 7. Now select the next active channel in your setup and repeat steps 8 and 9. Repeat this a channel at a time until all your lights have been specified. |
 |
10. After you have specified all the lights in your system, don’t forget to save your partial setup. You should be back to the SETUP menu. If not, scroll the MENU button until you are.
Scroll FUNCTION to SAVE AS (Screen 10). Click SELECT. This takes you to SAVE ALL TO MEMORY. (Screen 11). |
 |
11. The Micro SD card should always be in place to store your settings. It may also be used to store complete setups that can be retrieved as needed. To store the current partial setup (steps 1 - 10), use the left joystick to navigate to the desired location for your setup. (ie,“SD1”) Press SAVE to store the current state in the chosen location. It will remain there unless overwritten. To retrieve this saved setup, navigate to OPEN MEMORY, then to MEMORY = SD1. For more info about saving, see Page 16 |
 |
12. SETTING UP GROUPS Cyber Commander has the capacity to organize your lights into eight different Groups. Navigate to the SETUP menu (Screen 10). Select GROUPS. Here, Group 07 has been selected amongst the other available Channels and Groups with the left joystick. You can ADD or REMOVE each channel from the selected Group using the right joystick. In this example, channels 2 and 4 are included and channels 1 and 3 are excluded. |
 |
13. EQUALIZING MODELING LAMPS IN TRACK MODE To equalize modeling lamps (See “Equalizing Modeling Lamps”), first set all flash units to “Track.” In Screen 13, you can see the relationship in action. At the current power setting shown, the B1600 on channel 1 has a flashpower rating of 160WS (see Flash Status Bar), with a modeling lamp power at 62.5W (a ratio of 0.39 modeling watts per flash wattseconds).The 150W modeling lamp on a B800, on the other hand, results in a ratio of 80WS to 62.5 Watts if left unadjusted. To equalize this light, multiply the WS of the selected light times the known ratio of another light (in this case, 0.39) which will give you the power to which your modeling lamp should be adjusted (in this case, 31.3 W). This is what you would need to set the modeling power to on the B800. To make this adjustment, scroll to the MODEL screen and select the necessary Channel. Lower the POWER using the Left Joystick to the desired setting. For example, 31.3W (0.39 times the Flash WS). As you make this adjustment you will see the “62.5W” notation and the orange dot that indicates modeling power both drop, and the “-2.0f” notation will change to -3.0f in this example. Once you have made this adjustment, the modeling lamp will continue to proportionally track the power of the flash, but with the 1 f-stop offset you introduced. It is advised that you resave your setup at this point. (See steps 10 and 11 for help Saving). |
 |
14. GLOBAL MODELING LAMP ADJUSTMENT Once you have equalized all modeling lamps to flashpower, you may find that the flashpower of your units is set below Full Power for a particular shoot and that your modeling lamps are thus dimmer than you would like. In this event, you can select ALL while in the MODEL screen and use the POWER joystick to raise (or lower) all the modeling lamps simultaneously. You will see all the orange dots and the BRACKET MODEL display change incrementally as you do this. If you attempt to raise or lower any one modeling lamp above or below its maximum range by this method you will not be able to increment further, and the offending channel will blink red. This ensures that you can’t destroy the relationship you set up in previous steps. When you return to an individual channel after doing an ALL adjustment you will see the ratio of modeling watts to Flash WS has been altered. |
 |
15. FLASH SCREEN Scroll to the primary FLASH screen and select an active channel (See screen 15). The green dashes on Channel 1 show that it is selected. Any power adjustments will apply only to the selected Channel.This screen also shows the type of light on each channel and its “name” (ie, MAIN L). The Flash Status Bar here indicates ISO 100 and 1/250 second. No flashmeter reading has yet been taken. The Color Temperature, indicated in Kelvin (K), at this power setting, is 5475 K and the t.1 flash duration is 1/650 second. The modeling is presumed to be in TRACK FLASH mode, both on the unit itself and in the light settings within CC. For the particular light shown, the flashpower is 160WS, producing an EU Number of 4.7 and the flashpower is -2.0f below its maximum power.
|
 Note - the displayed color temperature does not account for color changes introduced by light in the room or from accesory modifiers - it is the reading emitted by the flash unit. |
16. USING YOUR METER |
 |
17. METERING ALL LIGHTS If you now scroll to ALL and press METER (from subject position), you will see a display similar to Screen #17. This is the total exposure of all active lights - what the camera will see. You might consider mounting a CST transmitter on your camera for shooting, leaving you free to carry the Cyber Commander around for taking meter readings. The CST will fire all active lights established by Cyber Commander, including lights combined into Groups. If the combined f-stop is higher or lower than what you desire, simply adjust the POWER control up or down, and the reading will change to whatever f-stop you desire. You will see both the digital f-stop readout change as well as the BRACKET FLASH readout. In the example shown here in Screen 17, we originally metered f16’5, then bracketed up by one f-stop to achieve the f22’5 result. Cyber Commander does this by individually adjusting the flashpower of each separate light unit. METER A SINGLE LIGHT The process to meter a single light is the same as metering a group of lights, except that lights NOT being metered must be placed in STANDBY mode. a) Select the light that you would like to disable from firing. b) Go to SETUP, then LIGHT SETTINGS, and hit SELECT. c) Go to POWER, and change the setting to STANDBY. d) Repeat with any additional lights, leaving on only the single light you wish to meter. |
 |
18. This screen shows the result of starting with #16, metering ALL in #17 and bracketing ALL +1 f-stop, then returning to Channel 1. Notice the yellow dashes, flashpower bars and orange modeling dots have all moved up one stop, and that the f11’5 reading for Channel 1 has gone to f16’5. The temperature and t.1 flash duration have also changed.
If you now return to Screen 17, you will see the combined reading remains at f22’5, but that the BRACKET FLASH has returned to 0.0f, ready for another bracket ALL. METERING AND BRACKETING GROUPS The same action occurs if you meter and/or bracket Groups. If you have a Group selected and press METER, only those lights enabled in the selected group will be metered, and the result will be displayed at the top. If you then adjust POWER, only lights in the Group will be adjusted (bracketed). If you fire the camera while Cyber Commander is set to a Group, only those lights enabled in the Group will fire. Note - If you adjust or bracket individual lights or Groups after an ALL meter reading has been taken, the ALL reading will be overridden because the lights that comprised the reading have changed. In this case, you will have to re-meter ALL. The same applies if you alter an individual light that is contained within a Group, move lights, change modifiers, etc. Naturally, saved readings will be invalid unless the studio is set up exactly as it was when the setup was stored.
|
 |
19. SAVING SETUPS Scroll the SETUP menu to SAVE AS, and SELECT. This will open Screen #19. Scroll the left joystick to the desired memory location. White memory locations are currently empty, blue locations contain a previously saved preset and saving to blue will overwrite the existing data, and red locations contain locked presets that cannot be overwritten. Press SAVE when ready. This cannot be undone. |
 |
20. OPENING SETUPS To open a previously saved preset, scroll the SETUP menu to OPEN MEMORY and press SELECT. This will open Screen #20. Scroll MEMORY to the location you wish to open and press OPEN. This will replace all settings currently visible with the saved setup. If you open the wrong setup, press UNDO to return Cyber Commander to its previous state. |
 |
21. ADVANCED SETUP Scroll the SETUP menu to ADVANCED SETUP and press SELECT. This will take you to a menu that allows you to lock/unlock preset(s), erase and format your Micro SD card, set the brightness and LCD Review time, and to perform other advanced operations as they become available in future firmware upgrades. 22. BACK UP MICRO-SD |
To eject the Micro SD card:
Mac: click the card icon on the desktop and drag it down to the Trash. Trash will turn into an Eject button. PC: click the “Safely Remove Hardware” icon in the Task Bar at the bottom of the desktop, then select the card drive. Rembember to reinsert the card into Cyber Commander. Note: Ejecting the card from the computer is very important for preventing damage to the saved data |
|
 |
23. ADDING A LIGHT After your initial setup, you may decide to add or remove lights at some point. To ensure you don’t lose all the setup information for the other lights, do not perform a new OPEN ALL FROM STUDIO operation after plugging in the new light. Instead, follow this procedure: 1. Plug in the new light and assign the receiver to a new channel. Set the frequency to match that of the other lights. 2. Scroll SETUP to SPEC LIGHTS. 3. Designate the channel with the left joystick, and press SELECT. This should take you to Screen #23. 4. Perform steps 6 - 9 to set this new light’s parameters. You may also need to EQUALIZE THE MODELING LAMP (Step 13). You will be able to add this light to Groups, but remember you will need to re-meter both the updated group and your ALL setting. Re-save the setup to the Micro SD card. |
 |
24. REMOVING A LIGHT Scroll SETUP to SPEC LIGHTS. Using the Left Joystick, scroll to the channel that corresponds to the light you wish to remove. Select NONE and press MORE. This will remove the light from the setup and from any Groups that previously contained it. Because you have removed a light from the setup, you will need to re-meter any Groups that previously contained this light, and also re-meter ALL. Again, it is advised that you re-save the setup to reflect the new changes. |

| Version | Date | Download | Size |
|---|---|---|---|
| Version 29 | February 24, 2010 | CC_V29.zip | 2.0mb |
Cyber Commander Firmware Update Version 29
Firmware version 29 updates the Paul C. Buff, Inc. Cyber Commander from version 22 or 27. Version 29 updates the following:
From Version 22
- Corrects the listed Wattsecond (Ws) rating of the ABR800 from 640Ws to 320Ws.
- Corrects the listed t.1 flash duration of the ABR800.
- Fixes bug in which lights added in “Spec Lights > Other” fired even when not selected. These lights now only fire when selected.
- Used memory locations are now indicated in blue characters, unused locations are indicated by white characters. Previously, all locations used white characters.
- In Spec Light screens of groups that were undefined, some text appeared as incoherent characters. This has been corrected to not allow access to these screens. Groups must be defined before access is given.
- Ability to “lock” setup on SD card to prevent overwriting, indicated by red characters when locked.
- Version 22 was unable to retrieve the lightmeter calibration performed before shipment, resulting in an approximate 1.7 stop discrepancy in lightmeter readings. Version 27 allows for the calibration to be retrieved.
From Version 22 and 27
- Addresses the issue of corrupting cards. The effect of this issue was typically characterized by the Cyber Commander shutting down and not responding to any commands.
- Adds the ability to open individual channels.
- Adds a one-touch refresh command to the “Flash” screen to rebroadcast the settings to the lights. This ensures all lights are at the correct and current settings (for example, if power is lost to a light or receiver when an adjustment is made).
- Optimizes Cyber Commander for use with Einstein.
- Corrects the listing of frequencies, actual frequencies used were not changed (in reference to actual frequencies in GHz).
- When model lamps are set to MODEL MODE>FULL, text on flash screen reads FULL.
This firmware update is for Cyber Commanders with version 22 and 27 firmware.
Cyber Commanders with version 29 firmware will not require this update. To determine which firmware your Cyber Commander has, please refer to the following:
- All Cyber Commanders with serial numbers 001001 - 001347 shipped with version 22.
- All Cyber Commanders with serial numbers 001348 - 001914 were shipped with version 27.
- All Cyber Commanders with serial numbers 001915 or higher were shipped with version 29 and no update is required.
- By removing a battery and reinstalling, the Firmware version will flash on the bottom of the screen for approximately 2 seconds.
Downloading and Installing Update
Prerequisites:
- You will need a memory card reader capable of accepting MicroSD cards OR a MicroSD to SD card adapter and card reader capable of accepting SD cards.
- You will need a new MicroSD card that is 2GB or less to install this firmware update.
- Please note: installing this update will override any custom meter calibration, reverting to the factory calibration.
Download and save new firmware to hard drive:
- Click here to download the firmware update.
- Save the file “CC_V29.zip” to your hard drive, we recommend to the desktop.
Copying firmware V.29 onto the new MicroSD card:
- Insert the new MicroSD card into the card reader.
- Navigate to the MicroSD card drive, and click to open.
- Keeping the MicroSD card window open, click on “CC_V29.zip” file on the hard drive (desktop).
- In the new window, you will see a folder titled “PCBUFF”.
- Click and drag the “PCBUFF” folder you downloaded to the MicroSD card, unzipping if necessary.
Updating Cyber Commander to firmware V.29:
- Remove one battery from the Cyber Commander.
- Remove the MicroSD card from your Cyber Commander by pressing in on the card, causing it to pop out.
- Set this card aside for future use.
- Remove the new card from the computer and insert the MicroSD card into the Cyber Commander, metal contacts in first, and facing up (toward the screen). Push until it clicks.
- Reinstall the battery into the Cyber Commander.
- Your firmware update should now start. Your Cyber Commander's screen will go solid white and begin to flicker quickly, then more slowly. The procedure should take approximately 25-30 seconds.
- When completed “Cyber Commander FW Ver 29” will appear at the bottom of the screen, and the unit will return to the “Flash” screen.
- If you have not experienced any locking up from your Cyber Commander, you may now remove the new card and reinstall the original card; all setups should be intact. Any set up from V.22 with an ABR800 will need to be re-specified due to the corrections made in the firmware. Also, any custom meter recalibrations (from any version) will default to the factory calibration (this will correct the discrepancy in V.22).
- If your Cyber Commander has locked up (would not turn on) in the past, continue using the new card. If you have setups saved on the MicroSD card, you can either manually reenter the setups, or you can use the instructions below to transfer the setups from one card to the next.
(Optional) If you wish to transfer setups from the old card to the new card:
- Insert the original memory card into the MicroSD card slot on the card reader.
- Create a new folder on your desktop to back up your memory card. Name the folder so it is not confused with the new firmware (example: “CC_V.22 back up”).
- Open your MicroSD card drive and click and drag “PBUFF” to the back up folder you just created.
- Remove the old card from the card reader, and install the new card.
- Open the card drive and follow the file path to PCBUFF>CCMDR.
- Leaving this window open and accessible, navigate to and open [backup folder name]>PCBUFF>CCMDR and click and drag “CONFIGS” folder into the MicroSD card PCBUFF>PCBUFF>CCMDR, allowing the computer to overwrite the existing folder of the same name, if prompted.
- Remove the card from the computer and insert the MicroSD card, metal contacts in first, and facing up (toward the screen).
Notes:
- The new card can be used in place of the old card, however any setups saved to the old card will not be available.
- If you have an issue removing the MicroSD card from the Cyber Commander, it may be helpful to carefully use a knife tip to gently pry up on the MicroSD card.
- If you opt to manually re-enter your setups, you may want to save an existing setup containing all lights and settings as “Internal1”. You can then use this as your master setup, avoiding having to open from studio and re-specify the lights.
