I'm new to PCB products and I testet the Cyber Commander together with the Einstein last weekend. I must say that it is an awsome product! Controlling all flash units without running through the studio is great - especially for units placed high above the ground.

I'd like to know if it is possible to do the following:

Let's consider a three lights setup: a main light, a kicker and one light for the background. While composing the shot all modeling lights are set to TRACK. As soon as all lights are set up I'd like to switch off the modeling lights of the kicker and the background flash and set the modeling lamp of the main light to 50% (sufficient for focusing) WITHOUT changing the flash power to prevent heat problems caused by the modeling lamps. To check the setup I want to be able to quickly set all modeling lamps back to TRACK again - then switch back to 50% - OFF - OFF for shooting. Is that possible?

The CC has the ability to save many of these kinds of setups via the save to memory or save to MiniSD card(50 per card) two cards = 100 setups etc.. I use this feature all the time between my PCB monolights.

Okay, so you mean the way to go is to create two setups having the same flash power but different settings for the modeling lamps and store these two setups either to the SD card or in memory, right?

Yes.
