One of the key features of the new Hive Antenna Remote Control is the ability to access and control it from secondary remote devices. This control device can be an additional Hive Antenna, a smart phone, tablet or desktop computer. Basic device requirement is internet access and the ability to add the third party software Team Viewer. If you are using two Hive Antenna Remote Controllers this software is already loaded onto the device.
Engage DMX Mode: Flip the DMX Mode On/Off Switch to the up position, causing the DMX indicator light to turn on. This light tells you that you are now in DMX mode and can use a DMX board or CRMX transmitter to control the light.
To Select Lumen Radio from the DMX input menu:
Double click the selection knob to enter the DMX menu.
Once the DMX menu is open single click the selection knob to select DMX input.
Rotate the selection knob to select between CRMX and Local Wire. Select CRMX for wireless control, then single click the selection knob to exit to the main DMX menu double click to exit the menu.
When you have successfully selected LumenRadio the DMX menu will now read CRMX on the OLED display on the back of the C-Series fixture.
Link your LumenRadio transmitter. To successfully use wireless DMX with the C-Series lights, you must have a LumenRadio (CRMX) enabled transmitter connected to your DMX controller.
To link your transmitter:
Ensure the antenna is connected.
Power on the transmitter and receiver(s).
Ensure that the RF Link indicators on all receivers are off to indicate that the receiver(s) are ready to be linked (If necessary, follow the unlink procedure).
On the transmitter, press and release the link button.
The transmitter will search for any unlinked receivers. Its RF Link indicator will flash for 10 seconds and normal operation will resume.
The RF Link indicator will change to a steady on-state on successfully linked receivers.
To Unlink from a LumenRadio transmitter select:
Double click the selection knob to enter the DMX menu.
Once the DMX menu is open single click the selection knob to select linking.
Click the selection knob to unlink, then confirm unlink.
Five different white-light curve profiles allow users to adjust for different shooting situations. Tune color with higher fidelity without sacrificing a full spectrum.
Photo Profile: The photo profile is solved for maximum output and color saturation, designed for cameras with a higher dynamic range, larger color gamut and the expectation of a deeper f-stop used with a larger sensor. The Photo profile will in general have a warmer cast with more orange, yellow and green tones. To see how our Wasp 100-C in Photo profile measured up with a third party lab test click here: Independent Lab Test Measurements
Cinema Profile: The cinema profile is solved for cinema style sensors with an eye towards the coatings used on PL Mount and Anamorphic cine style lenses. The cinema profile also compensates for the higher sensitivity to green and yellow that most cinema style camera sensors have. The Cinema profile will have a cooler cast with more blue and purple tones and more muted yellows and greens.
Broadcast Profile: The broadcast profile is solved for creating as neutral an image as possible with an eye towards +/- green and mired shift. This profile not only takes into consideration the coating on zoom lenses and the color space of 2/3 sensor sizes but also the workflow associated with on site color correction and/or very limited post time.
Daylight Profile: The daylight profile matches the white light curve of sunlight being filtered by the earths atmosphere.
Blackbody Profile: The Blackbody curve matches the scientifically defined black body radiation: “An idealized physical body that absorbs all incident electromagnetic radiation, regardless of frequency or angle of incidence. It has a specific spectrum of wavelengths, inversely related to intensity that depend only on the body’s temperature, which is assumed for the sake of calculations and theory to be uniform and constant.”
C-Series lights have three additional menus for unique controls not available through the standard HSI-CCT control menu. These five menus can be accessed by double clicking the selection knob on the on the back of the C-Series fixture. This will bring up the Additional Menus Screen and offer you 5 Menu choices: EFFECTS, SOURCES, PROFILES, CORRECTIVE, SYSTEM INFO.
Effects Menu
To access the Effects menu first double click the SELECT knob to access the additional menus screen.
There single click the SELECT knob when the screen reads “MENU 1/5 Effects”.
To select different effects turn the SELECT knob to scroll between 8 different effects: Cop Car 1, Cop Car 2, Emergency 1, Emergency 2, Emergency 3, Club Lights, Paparazzi, Color Chase, Fire, Fireworks, Pulsing, TV, Lightning.
The effects can be adjusted either with dimming control or speed control or both dimming and speed control. To adjust the dimming or speed control on any effect turn the ADJUST knob to reach the desired level as indicated on a scale of 1-100%. To toggle between adjusting speed and dimming on an effect with both controls click the select knob once.
To exit the Effects menu to the Additional Menus Screen single click the ADJUST knob.
Sources Menu
To access the Sources menu first double click the SELECT knob to access the additional menus screen. There single click the SELECT knob when the screen reads “MENU 2/5 Sources”.
To select different sources turn the SELECT knob to scroll between 40 preset sources:
Violet Glo Stick, Pink Glo Stick, Yellow Glo Stick, Red Glo Stick, Green Glo Stick, Blue Glo Stick, Red Traffic Light, Yellow Traffic Light, Green Traffic Light, Amber Caution, Road Flare, Blow Torch, Bioluminescence, Computer Monitor, Mobile Phone, Sun Blue Hour, Sun Overcast, Sun Direct, Gaslight, Candlelight, Antique Bulb, Warm Antique Bulb, Christmas Lights, Night Light, Heat Lamp, Grow Light, Tungsten, Incandescent, Halogen, HMI, High Pressure Sodium, Low Pressure Sodium, Mercury Vapor, Metal Halide, Ceramic, Carbon Arc, Xenon, Blacklight, Cool White Fluorescent, Warm White Fluorescent
The sources can be adjusted with dimming control. To adjust the dimming turn the ADJUST knob to reach the desired level as indicated on a scale of 1-100%.
To exit the Effects menu to the Additional Menus Screen single click the ADJUST knob.
Profiles Menu
To access the Profiles menu first double click the SELECT knob to access the additional menus screen. There single click the SELECT knob when the screen reads “MENU 3/5 Profiles”.
To select different Profiles turn the SELECT knob to scroll between 3 different profiles: Photo, Cinema, Broadcast
To exit the Profiles menu to the Additional Menus Screen single click the ADJUST knob.
Once the profile is selected and the Additional Menu Screen is exited the OLED display will indicate the selected profile with a letter in the upper right hand corner of the display. “P” for Photo, “C” for Cinema, “B” for Broadcast.
Corrective Menu
To access the Corrective menu first double click the SELECT knob to access the additional menus screen. There single click the SELECT knob when the screen reads “MENU 4/5 Corrective”.
To select different Corrective Presets turn the SELECT knob to scroll between multiple different corrective presets: + (1/8, 1/4, 1/2, Full) Green Daylight, + (1/8, 1/4, 1/2, Full) Green Tungsten, – (1/8, 1/4, 1/2, Full) Green Daylight and – (1/8, 1/4, 1/2, Full) Green Tungsten, (1/8, 1/4, 1/2, Full) CT Straw Daylight, (1/8, 1/4, 1/2, Full) CT Straw Tungsten.
The sources can be adjusted with dimming control. To adjust the dimming turn the ADJUST knob to reach the desired level as indicated on a scale of 1-100%.

YES, Hive is Flicker Free! All Hive Omni-Color LEDs including all C-Series and CX fixtures use pure DC dimming (no Hz rate) and are entirely Flicker-Free at any frame rate or shutter angle combination from 30 – 100% output.
Below 30% the light introduces a 25Khz PWM, which is still a very high hertz rate (standard US AC wall power has a hertz rate of 60hz). With such a high Hz rate even below 30% dimming any frame rate below 500fps will be safe! In between 500fps and 2500fps the light may be Flicker-Free depending on the shutter angle and the dimming level. The tighter the shutter angle and the lower the output level the greater the risk of seeing flicker above 500fps.
The second Generation of the Wasp 100-C introduced wireless DMX, a smaller & lighter body, and additional mounting points. First see if you have an CMRX Antenna on the backcap which would indicate you’re using second generation 100-C. To double check, another way to way to separate the two is the vent screen configuration on the side of the fixture.
– A four hole configuration means you own Gen. 1
– A three hole configuration means you own Gen. 2.
