The HUB remote will function as a standard trigger, similar to our CyberSync Trigger
Transmitter, and provides all of the necessary communication between any camera
brand and a Paul C. Buff, Inc. flash unit. To utilize the TTL and HSS capabilities

a camera specific version of the HUB will be required.
