Remote Control Application

For a quick video overview and introduction to the smartphone application visit www.kinotehnik.com/practilite602/remote. Otherwise, read on.

After downloading the Practilite remote control App make sure you turn on Bluetooth on your smartphone to enable effortless connection and control over one or up to six Practilite 632 instruments.

Launch the App and you will see three channels grayed out, there are three more hidden on the right side of the screen and can be revealed by swiping from right to left and vice versa.

Now, to make a connection just tap the magnifying glass with „+“ in it. Repeat the procedure for any remaining Practilites you might have set up. To identify which channel is connected to which instrument just tap the „eye“ it will blink the light associated.

To arrange the channels into a more logical sequence, hold your finger down on the vertical tab in the middle of a channel, it should light up to let you know that's it's ready to be dragged into a more logical and easy to remember position. Repeat this to all the lights connected and when satisfaction is achieved.

Now, when all the light are connected and arrange it's time to set the intensity of each or if you prefer set the appropriate colour balance by taping the „OO“ tab on the bottom. Notice that you can link all or some of the connected lights together to have the same colour balance.

Light intensity linking is also available, independent from the colour balance.

There is also this „fan“ button which toggles the Boost mode on and off. Boost mode also requires a bit more cooling so the fan will rev up a bit. Boost mode works basically like if you engaged a tungsten bulb and a daylight bulb both at the same time almost doubling the lumen output. The downside is the need for cooling. Please notice that Boost mode is disabled when working on battery power. (Corresponding red indicator lights up on the fixture.)
