Master/Slave

Linking

The Master/Slave mode allows one fixture (the master) to run a preconfigured program

to control several other fixtures of the same model (the slaves) without requiring a DMX

controller. In this mode, all the slave fixtures will operate in unison with the master

fixture.

If a fixture supports the Master/Slave mode, it will have some sort of programming

function to configure it as master or slave. Those fixtures that only support DMX mode

cannot operate in Master/Slave mode.

Master/Slave

Connection

Make sure the fixtures with which you are working are capable of operating in

Master/Slave mode. When working in Master/Slave mode, most fixtures use the DMX

data connection as well. The difference in this case is that there is no DMX controller

involved. Refer to the fixtures’ manual to learn how to configure them to work in

Master/Slave mode.

The procedure below illustrates a possible connection method.

1) Connect the 3-pin, male connector of the first DMX cable to the DMX Output

connector (3-pin, female) of the master fixture.

2) Connect the 3-pin, female connector of the first DMX cable coming from the master

fixture to the DMX Input connector (3-pin, male) of the first slave fixture.

3) Connect the 3-pin, male connector of the second DMX cable to the DMX Output

connector (3-pin, female) of the first slave fixture.

4) Connect the 3-pin, female connector of the second DMX cable coming from the

first slave fixture to the DMX Input connector (3-pin, male) of the second slave

fixture.

5) Continue linking the other slave fixtures in the same way.

6) Follow the steps in fixtures’ manual to configure the fixtures as master and slaves.
