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.
