FreeStyle Mini Fixture Assembly
FreeStyle T41/ T21 Fixture Assembly
The FreeStyle T41/ T21 ixtures are
comprised of a Louver and Relector.

The FreeStyle Mini is comprised of an
LED Panel and Louver. The Louver is
held in place with Velcro Fasteners.
The FreeStyle Relector has a
unique design to accommodate
the aluminum channel on the back
of the FreeStyle tube. It provides
even light distribution and maximizes
light output. In addition, it acts as
a heatsink and allows the FreeStyle
Tubes to run cooler.
Insert tube into the ixture’s tube
holder clips. The tube can operate
remotely from the ixture allowing
them to be built into sets or custom
soft boxes or handheld as a single
tube for an eye-light.

The FreeStyle T41, T21 and Mini LED ixtures
can operate remotely from the controller with
extension cable up to 50ft (2 x 25ft).

The Camera LUT (Look-up Tables) feature harmonizes the Kino Flo light
sources to the camera. Depending on the camera and the Kelvin setting,
some differences are very subtle, while others can be more dramatic.
The corrections are applied as a CIE xy correction at each CCT (Kelvin) setting.
The default setting is targeting the CIE xyz response (human eye).
Press the green menu button to the left of the display screen and scroll down to
Camera LUT, then press the control knob. Menu with camera selection will be
displayed. Turn the control knob and press to select camera setting:
C1 Arri Alexa

Note: When the controller is reset, the camera settings will go to Kino Flo
Default mode.

Color Space
Color Space deines the RGB color space used and only affects color – not Kelvin.
It is used in RGB mode and Hue Angle and Saturation. There are a few instances
in the FX (Effects) mode that are also affected when color is used. The RGB
color space deines the value of Red, Green, and Blue primaries (in CIE xy) and
the white point is ixed at 6500 Kelvin. Exception being ESTA E1.54 which is a
ixed point at 3200 Kelvin.
Press the green menu button to the left of the display screen and scroll down
to Color Space, then press the control knob. Menu with color selection will be
displayed. Turn the control knob and press to select Color Space options:
rec 709 / sRGB
P3 D65
rec 2020
ESTA E1.54
The color space rec 709 / sRGB is commonly used on computer monitors, SDTV
and HDTV television. There are slight gamma variations between rec 709 / sRGB,
but not enough to separate into 2 color spaces.
The color space P3 D65 is a common color space for digital movie projection.
The color space rec 2020 is used in ultra high deinition television (UHDTV).
The color space ESTA E1.54 is the standard for color communication in
entertainment lighting.
The color space is used when the controller is set to the RGB mode and when set to
the Hue Angle/ Saturation mode.
In RGB mode – the color space designation will be displayed at the top of the menu.
When changing the Red, Blue or Green values, the Kelvin will be locked in at 6500
for all color spaces except for ESTA E1.54 which will be locked in at 3200. When the
Kelvin is locked in, CCT will be displayed as CCT*. When using Green/Magenta the
CCT value is unlocked and color space selection has no impact.
In Hue Angle/Saturation mode – the color space designation will be displayed on
the Gel line and GEL will be displayed as GEL* and CCT will be displayed as CCT*.
The Color space will be displayed only when Hue Angle and Saturation are being
used. When using Green/Magenta or Gel, the CCT will be unlocked and color space
selection has no impact.
