The bronControl app enables you to conveniently control several broncolor Siros WiFi, Scoro WiFi and LED F160 devices. All the basic functions of broncolor’s Siros, Siros L, LED F160 and most functions of Scoro can be operated using the free bronControl app. By using the Private mode or the Enterprise mode, equipment that is difficult to access, or far away, can be conveniently and easily set and controlled. In Private mode, the Siros S, Siros L, Scoro and LED F160 can actually set up their own network. In that configuration, the LEDF160 accepts a maximum of four clients. The application controls the functions with clarity and full individual control, e.g. several units can be united into groups, and flash sequences synchronised. In order to reduce the already short charging and waiting times even further, several devices can be alternately triggered. The FreeMask function makes it possible to establish perfect masks for cropping motifs in a simple and fast way. To operate the upgraded version of the bronControl App, the newest Firmware version is required: - Siros 400 / 800: 11 - Siros 400 S / 800 S: 11 - Siros 400 L / 800 L: 6 - LEDF160 : LD 1.5 / UI 1.5 - Scoro : 13 Upgrade software can be downloaded from the broncolor website: https://broncolor.swiss/software
