Broncolor Scoro 1600 S RFS Power Packs

Broncolor power packs are constructed for peak performance under heavy use. Long-life capacitors, durable components and solid state design ensure trouble-free operation for years.

A company already known for creating benchmark products, Broncolor raises the bar to even loftier heights with the introduction of the Scoro S 1600 RFS 2 Power Pack (100-240V). It provides independent 1/10 stop control of each of three flash outlets with very short flash durations and a unique feature: ECTC technology (Enhanced Color Temperature Control), aimed at preventing color shift over the entire output range. You can also use it to select your own color temperature in 200K increments. Almost like having 3 separate power packs, each of the 3 flash outlets features individual asymmetrical power control. Although flash durations are very short in Normal Mode, Speed Mode can make them even shorter while shortening the recycle time allowing shooting up to 10 frames per second at full output.



Controllable from camera, Mac or PC computer via the built-in RF receiver, the pack also features sequence, delay, interval and memory just to name a few, in addition to a sleek new design. Besides speed, power and style, the hallmark of a Bron pack is consistency: digital controls can be returned to exactly the same settings an hour or a year later.

Ultimate Light Quality
Light quality depends both on the quality of the light shaper used and on the light control precision of the power pack. The Scoro power pack maintains the flash voltage to better than+/- 0.3% accuracy. And the flash duration is monitored with micro-second precision allowing repeatability never before achieved. With the Scoro S 1600 RFS series you have a choice of over 9 f-stops to set the flash output you need.
Safe and Sure
Scoro power packs also make no compromises when it comes to functionality and reliable operation. The highest quality standards are applied to every component, guaranteeing that the selected output and flash time is exactly right for each flash.
Cut-off Technology
Flash duration and light output are the two decisive factors in light control. A microprocessor in the Scoro will calculate for you the shortest or longest flash duration for a given output. This enables rapid flash sequences with up to 50 flashes per second.
Constant Color Temperature - ECTC
Scoro is the only studio flash system which uses the 2nd generation of patented ECTC (Enhanced Color Temperature Control). This technology maintains color temperature over the entire power range at all three outputs or allows you to change it when desired in calibrated steps of +/- 200K.
Individual Power Distribution
The Scoro S 1600 RFS 2 has three lamp outlets. Each has an individual power controller with LED display, and can be adjusted independently of the other outlets. The unit therefore behaves like three independent power packs.
Speed Mode
In Speed mode the charging time and flash duration are reduced by up to 50% while the power is reduced by 25%. In this way you can achieve up to ten shots per second at full output, or up to 50 at reduced power. This makes the Scoro S 1600 RFS 2 a top-class flash unit for fashion shoots, and with its fan cooling, even long flash series are no problem.
Reliable and User-friendly
The 2nd generation of patented ECTC (Enhanced Color Temperature Control) technology is simple and self-explanatory. Using the graphic LCD display, you can program modeling-light proportionality, flash duration, flash delay, memory, and the fine adjustment of color temperature. The blue, illuminated silicone keypad and the digital display can even be read in the dark. Wear-free button fields have replaced rotary switches and buttons to help increase functional reliability over long years of use. Help texts explain the pack's functions in ten languages directly on the unit.
Radio Remote Control
All Scoro S 1600 RFS 2 functions can be controlled from your digital workplace using the radio remote control within a range of 984' (300 m). In addition, Scoro S power packs have an infrared receiver, and can be controlled and triggered with a wireless remote control. The remote-control unit enables ceiling mounting of a Scoro power pack, thus optimizing the useful working surface in your studio.
Trouble-free Compatibility
The Scoro pack integrates seamlessly into the existing Broncolor studio range. This comprises comprehensive light accessories for photo studios, ranging from the various lamp heads and light shapers, through filters, honeycomb attachments and stands, to remote control units and radio triggering systems. Scoro is compatible with all these components.
A Long-term Investment
Scoro stands not just for stable value, it also ensures the future of your investment. The use of high-performance transistors and the latest microprocessor technology has allowed Broncolor to develop equipment with impressive performance credentials. Like all Broncolor products, Scoro power packs are built to rigorous quality standards. This becomes especially evident in long and hard continuous service in major productions with fast flash sequences. Every power pack is capable of producing thousands of flashes a day with no adverse effect on the capacitors.
For Mac and PC
With Scoro S 1600 RFS 2 you have the convenience of being able to make lighting corrections directly on your computer screen. The user-friendly program allows you to control all functions of the power packs through the wireless interface from your Mac or PC. There are four memory locations for saving lighting set-ups. In this way you can offer your clients a choice of several lighting set-ups. In addition each lamp can be identified and given its own address to provide an extra level of control.
