of one or more SlimPAR PRO H USB products (the "slaves") without the need of a DMX controller. The
master product will be set to operate in standalone 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.
