Master/Slave Mode - Chauvet Scorpion GVC User Manual

Master/Slave Mode

This mode allows a single Scorpion™ GVC/RVM/RGY product (the "master") to
control the actions of one or more Scorpion™ GVC/RVM/RGY units (the "slaves")
without the need of a DMX controller. The master unit will be set to operate in either
Automatic, Sound, or Laser Sky 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.
