Master/Slave mode configures the Nexus™ 4x4 panels so that a group of panels (the slaves)

duplicates the actions of a single panel (the master). Master/Save mode does not need a DMX

First, set each of the slave panels:

1. Go to the Master/Slave main level.

2. Select Slave.

3. Press <MENU> to return to the home screen.

Second, set the master panel:

1. Go to the Master/Slave main level.

2. Select Master.

3. Select a standalone mode (an automatic program or a static mode). For more information,

see Auto Show and Static Color

4. Press <MENU> to return to the home screen.

• Set the slaves before setting the master.

• Do not connect a DMX controller to Nexus™ 4x4 products configured for

Master/Slave operation. The DMX controller may interfere with signals from the

master.

• The master must be the first product in the DMX daisy chain.

• The master must be set to a standalone mode for Master/Slave to work.
