COLORband PiX™ IP User Manual (Rev. 2)
Master/Slave
Mode
The Master/Slave mode allows a single COLORband PiX™ IP unit (the “master”) to
control the actions of one or more COLORband PiX™ IP units (the “slaves”) without the
need of a DMX controller. The master unit will be set to operate in a standalone mode
while the slave units will be set to operate in Slave Mode. Once set and connected, the
slave units will operate in unison with the master unit.
Configure the units as indicated below.
Slave units:
1. Press
<MENU>
repeatedly until
SLA
shows on the display.
2. Press
<ENTER>
to accept.
3. Set the DMX address to
001
.
4. Connect the DMX input of the first slave unit to the DMX output of the master unit.
5. Connect the DMX input of the subsequent slave units to the DMX output of the
previous slave unit.
6. Finish setting and connecting all the slave units.
Master unit:
1. Set the master unit to operate in a standalone mode.
2. Make the master unit the first unit in the daisy chain.
•
Configure all the slave units before connecting the master unit to the daisy
chain.
•
Never connect a DMX controller to a DMX string configured for Master/Slave
operation because the controller may interfere with the signals from the
master unit.
•
Do not connect more than 31 slave units to the master unit.
