RotoSphere™ LED User Manual (Rev. 03) 

Master/Slave 

Mode 

This mode allows a single RotoSphere™ LED unit (the “master”) to control the actions of 
one or more RotoSphere™ LED units (the “slaves”) without the need of a DMX 
controller. The master unit will be set to operate in either Automatic or Sound Active 
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 

<MODE>

 repeatedly until 

d 1

 shows on the display. 

2. Press 

<ENTER>

 to accept. 

3.  Connect the DMX input of the first slave unit to the DMX output of the master unit. 

4.  Connect the DMX input of the subsequent slave units to the DMX output of the 

previous slave unit. 

5.  Finish setting and connecting all the slave units. 

Master unit: 

1.  Set the master unit to operate in either Automatic or Sound mode, as previously 

indicated. 

2.  Make the master unit the first unit in the DMX daisy chain. 

 

 

 

 

Configure all the slave units before connecting the master unit to the DMX 
daisy chain. 

 

Never connect a DMX controller to a DMX string configured for Master/Slave 
operation because it may interfere with the signals from the master unit. 

 

Do not connect more than 31 slave units to the master unit.
