Master/Slave operation
The master/slave operation enables that several devices can be synchronized and controlled by one master
device.
On the rear panel of the device you can find a DMX input plug and a DMX output connector, which can be
used for interconnecting several devices.
Choose the device which is to control the effects. Set the desired Master-mode on the master-device. This
device then works as master-device and controls all other slave-devices, which are to be connected to the
master-device via a balanced microphone lead. Connect the DMX out connectors with the DMX input plug of
the next device.
Set the desired mode for the master-device (see chapter Control Board). Set the DMX address 001 for all
slave-devices.
