PixController Video Light II Board
Product Specs

Introduction
The Video Light board has several connections you need to be aware of before using the board.

J3 "+12V BAT" connector - This is where you connect your 12V power supply. This MUST be a 12V supply, and must be a Sealed Lead Acid battery (Gel Cell) in order produce the current needed to drive the MR-11 or MR-16 lights. Use your supplied red/black wire to connect the power to your board. Connect the red to the +12V and the black to the ground of the 12V supply.

Test Push Button, SW1 - The "TEST" Push Button is a momentary "push button" that will test your video light. When pressed it will light the bulb. This is a great way to test your video light, and to test the battery.

J4 "CNTL" connector - The "CNTL" connector is where you plug your white/black cable into, and is where you connect these wires to a controlling device such as your PixController board. Connect this to the external light port of your PixController board. Simply connect the white wire to the white wire of your flash cable from your PixController board, and connect the black to the black wire from your flash cable of your PixController board. You can also connect this to other control devices. This is an active "low" or "pull to ground" active port. If you connect pin 1 and 2 of J3 the light will light up.

Bulb Types

The Video Light II board can accept a wide range of the popular MR-11 and MR-16 type bulbs. These bulbs are sold in many formats such as Halogen, Super Bright LED, and IR LED Arrays.

PixController board wiring diagrams to the Video Light II
(Note: Although you can wire the 12V supply to both the PixController board and the Video Light II as shown in the wiring diagrams below we do suggest using a separate supply for the PixController board.)
