Los Angeles, CA—Zylight, a manufacturer of premium LED lighting solutions, is taking wireless control of its lighting units to the next level with the introduction of the ZyLink Bridge. The device will debut at the 2016 NAB (Booth 5049), which runs April 18–21, 2016 in Las Vegas, Nevada.
The ZyLink Bridge works in conjunction with the company’s new ZyLink app to allow precise lighting adjustments for multiple Zylights through an iPhone or iPad. The lightweight, wireless fob allows the app for iOS devices to communicate with the integrated ZyLink wireless control found in most Zylight fixtures. There are no routers required and no networks to configure. Users can turn on the lights, select one of the 10 ZyLink wireless channels, and take control with the app.
“The ZyLink Bridge was the next logical step for our remote control technology,” explained Joe Arnao, president of Zylight. “Lighting professionals have never had this level of wireless control on the set. Now, instead of climbing ladders and swapping gels, DPs and lighting designers can sit in front of a reference monitor and use the ZyLink app to adjust individual fixtures or groups of lights.”
Designed with an intuitive user interface, the ZyLink app provides access to brightness as well as white light temperatur
e controls, plus color/saturation adjustments for the IS3, IS3c, Z90 and other models equipped with color mode. It also includes four effects—crossfade, strobe, police and flame—that can be adjusted to match the needs of a particular scene. There are also presets to save repeated lighting assignments.
The ZyLink Bridge measures 2.2×1.7×0.6 inches and weighs 0.7 ounce. In addition, it can run 14 hours fully charged and can be recharged via a Micro USB connector.
Priced at $129, it will be available April 1. The free ZyLink app can be downloaded at the App Store.
