Master/Slave Mode - Chauvet DJ HELICOPTER Q6 Guía De Referencia Rápida

Master/Slave Mode

The Master/Slave mode allows a single Helicopter Q6 product (the "master") to control the actions of one
or more Helicopter Q6 products (the "slaves") without the need of a DMX controller. The master product
will be set to operate in either Stand-Alone mode or with the IRC-6, while the slave products will be set to
operate in Slave mode. Once set and connected, the slave products will operate in unison with the master
product.
Configure the products as indicated below.
Slave products:
1. Press <MENU> repeatedly until 3-CH or 16CH 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 product to the DMX output of the master product.
5. Connect the DMX input of the subsequent slave products to the DMX output of the previous slave
product.
6. Finish setting and connecting all the slave products.
Master product:
1. Set the master product to operate in Stand-Alone mode or with the IRC-6.
2. Make the master product the first product in the DMX daisy chain.
• Configure all the slave products before connecting the master 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.
• Do not connect more than 31 slaves to the master.
