Pocketwizard MultiMAX II Transceiver
If your needs go beyond simple triggering, you need the PocketWizard MultiMAX II Transceiver, the most advanced wireless triggering system available. With thirty-two Standard Channels and four separately controllable zones, as well as 20 ControlTL Channels with three zones, the MultiMAX II Transceiver is the ideal solution for working in crowded venues or with multiple lighting set-ups.
Featuring sophisticated trigger time control functions and transceiver communication capabilities such as Infinite Intervalometer, SpeedCycler and Long Range Mode, the MultiMAX II Transceiver unleashes unlimited creative possibilities for the professional or serious amateur photographer.
FULL FEATURE DESCRIPTIONS:
Thirty-two Standard Channels, Twenty ControlTL Channels
Creatively control groups of lights or cameras.  Work in crowded venues or with multiple flash set-ups.
Manual Power Control -
NEW!
Remotely adjust the manual power settings of your ControlTL compatible flashes in up to three zones. You can have as many flashes in each group as you want.
Selective Quad-Triggering
Activate or deactivate electronic flash units and/or cameras wirelessly in 4 separately controllable zones (ABCD) without leaving the camera position
Auto-Relay Mode
Acts as a transmitter and receiver, triggering both camera and flash from up to 500 meters (1600 ft) away. Upon receiving a signal from a remote transmitter, the on-camera receiver automatically switches instantaneously to transmit mode and signals the remote flash units to fire in sync with the camera.
True Trigger Confirmation
Verifies each successful triggering and indicates misfires via audio and/or visual confirmation signals.  No separate transmitter/receiver system can do this.
PocketWizard Compatible
Works with all PocketWizard radios on the same frequency including
PocketWizard OEM Partner products like Sekonic meters and Profoto,
Bowens, Calumet, Dynalite, Lumedyne, Norman and Photogenic flash packs. Available sync cables support all major brands of flash equipment in lengths up to 4.8 meters (16 ft). A variety of dedicated camera triggering cables are also available.
Long Range Mode
When the extra distance is needed, especially for remote camera triggering,
Long Range Mode can provide up to 100% more range. This feature is found particularly useful by photographers shooting in sports arenas, photographing wildlife and using it for other challenging remote camera applications such as aerial photography.
Close Range Mode
Reduces the transmit power of the MultiMAX II radio when it is in Transmit mode.  This mode is useful if you have a receiver very close to your transmitter (within a few feet), such as on a basketball net, studio shoots, macro photography or table top product shoots.
Noise Sniffer
and
Signal Strength Indicator
Are tools for troubleshooting RF noise.  The Noise Sniffer shows the ambient and peak radio noise for the channel and frequency displayed.
The Signal Strength Indicator (Receive Only) performs two functions:
•    If a MultiMAX II radio has NOT been triggered, it acts as a Noise Meter and indicates steady noise in the area.
•    If your radio has been triggered, the Signal Strength Indicator shows the strength of the last trigger received.
This is useful to gain a quick view of the local noise level in the area you intend to shoot in so you can pick a channel with less interfering noise.
If the above tools indicate excessive RF interference on your Custom ID’s frequency, you have the option to
Move your Custom ID
to any PocketWizard frequency for better triggering in crowded shooting environments.  What is a Custom ID?  It is a private digital code that no one can trigger but you.  It is offered as a premium service by PocketWizard.
Radio Relay (Repeater) Mode (Receive Only)
Allows photographers to add another MultiMAX II radio to increase range.  It receives and transmits on the same channel.  This mode is valuable to extend the maximum range of a MultiMAX II in any radio environment.  If you are shooting in a RF noisy environment such as a sports arena, and your current range is 200 feet, add another MultiMAX II radio in Radio Relay Mode and gain another 200 feet.  This mode is also helpful when shooting wildlife.  If your current range is 800 feet because of trees and you would like to be a minimum of 2000 feet away from your subject, add two more MultiMAX II radios to your system and increase your range.
MultiMAX II TRANSCEIVER TIME CONTROL FEATURES:
Rear-curtain Sync
Capture ambient streaks of light at slow shutter speeds, even for cameras without this feature.   Delay the sync time to fire the electronic flash unit near the end of the exposure, with the precision of 1/10,000th of a second.  Includes pre-programmed shutter speeds of 1 to 1/60th of a second, with additional setting configurable via the MultiMAX IIs delay time adjustment screen.
Infinite Intervalometer -
IMPROVED!
Perform time-lapse imaging to photograph events as they unfold.  Capture an infinite amount of images over an infinite amounto of time.
Multi-Pop
Adds depth-of-field to images or generates stroboscopic motion images.  Allows your flash to be fired up to 10,000 times on the same exposure while waiting for a user programmed recycle time, from 1/100th to 10 minutes, between pops.
Precision Delay Times
Custom set in transmit mode for remote units and/or port 2 on the MultiMAX II.  In receiver mode, precision delay offers delay sequencing or camera/flash synchronization.
SpeedCycler -
IMPROVED!
Perform sequential triggering for up to sixteen cameras or sixteen
flashes. Ideal for multi-angle camera shots and reducing recycle time
in fast-paced photo shoots by triggering the next flash in line while the
previous flash is recharging. It works with any PocketWizard radio as
a receiver, including the PlusX, for up to 10 flashes. It can be used for
remote camera sequences, too. Tailor-made for capturing a bouquet
toss, roller derby crash, or any other high-speed moments you want
to capture.
Lag Time Equalizer Software
Measures reaction time between camera trigger signal to shutter firing.  This lag time is used to synchronize single or multiple cameras and strobes to fire in unison, with measurable accuracy to 1/10,000th of a second.
Ultra-fast Microprocessors
Achieve trigger-response times as short as 1/3000th of a second for reliable top-end sync speeds of 1/500th for focal plane shutters and 1/1000th for leaf shutters.
