Bright Beast 1×1 Bi-Color Panel - USER MANUAL

THANK YOU FOR CHOOSING GENARAY

The Genaray Bright Beast is a 1×1 bi-color panel that uses 256

LEDs to throw an ultrabright, ﬂicker-free light that’s ideal for

photo and video shoots. It operates on AC power or a single

V-mount battery, and it features 0% to 100% dimming for a full

6 stops of light. Built-in Bluetooth, DMX, and an AC adapter

give you an all-in-one unit that needs no extra components or

accessories for full functionality.

The Bright Beast supports DMX-512 so the light’s settings

can be remotely controlled from a DMX console. It has 512

selectable channels and a 5-pin XLR output jack to daisy-chain

other DMX-compatible lights. The Bright Beast can also be

controlled via Bluetooth with the Bright Beast app, which will

let you operate the light from 30 feet away.

For compatibility in the studio, the yoke can be mounted to a

light stand with a baby pin or junior pin.
