General Operation

Connect

To log in to the ARRI SkyLink Base Station, first connect to the WiFi network on your control device. Find 
the ARRI SkyLink Base Station in your list of networks and join it. Enter the password when requested. 

For more information on WiFi configuration and using the ARRI SkyLink via Ethernet in a network, see 
“Set Up” on page 9.

Linking

After ensuring your SkyLink Receivers are powered and unlinked, briefly press the 

Link

 button on the back 

of your SkyLink Base Station. The 

Status

 light on your SkyLink Receivers will blink for several seconds in 

unison with the 

CRMX Status

 light on the SkyLink Base Station. Linking is complete when flashing stops. 

The SkyLink Base Station can be linked to an unlimited number of SkyLink Receivers.

Light Operation

Now that your tablet or device is connected and your receivers are linked, open your Art-Net or sACN 
compatible DMX lighting control app. In most cases, use these default settings:

The SkyLink Base Station is capable of receiving a single DMX universe of 512 DMX channels.

Operating Range

The SkyLink has a range of about 500 m (1.640 ft) over CRMX. External factors, such as walls, vegetation, 
or even people in between the Base Station and Receiver can severely degrade the range. Best practice 
is to have an uninterrupted line-of-sight (LOS) between the SkyLink Base Station and the SkyLink 
Receiver.
