Technical data

The unique ergonomic design combines the positive feel
of mechanical knobs and switches with the precision of
electronic technologies. This combination allows for precise
control in 1/10 f-stop increments, all with digitally-controlled
output, insuring that flash and colour temperature remain
consistent every time.
Four independent outlets provide true asymmetric operation
with the turn of a dial. Working with one D4 generator is
like using four separate flash packs. Over an 8 f/stop range,
the Profoto D4 gives photographers the ability to adjust the
light from the control panel, without the need for unplugging
and re-plugging lamp heads. All this control while being
compatible to a comprehensive array of Profoto heads and
the huge range of Profoto accessories.
Auxiliary functions such as sequence, delay and intervalometer,
make tricky lighting setups simple. With these features,
photographers can select the number of flashes, the amount
of time between each flash, as well as an initial delay, all
from the generator in a straightforward way.
The Profoto D4 comes supplied with a software package
that provides full control of up to 127generators from a
single computer via USB connections. So whether shooting
film or digital, the entire production can be orchestrated
from one place. Adjusting power, modeling light,
as well as the auxiliary functions can be completed with the
click of a mouse. Individual lamp heads can be turned
on/off right from the computer screen. Control has never
been simpler.
