Master/Slave Mode - Chauvet mini kinta IRC User Manual

Master/Slave
Mode
Mini Kinta™ IRC User Manual Rev. 2
The Master/Slave mode allows a single Mini Kinta™ IRC (the master) to control the
actions of one or more Mini Kinta™ or Mini Kinta™ IRC products (the slaves) without the
need of a DMX controller. The master will be set to operate in either Auto/Sound mode or
a custom mix, while the slave units will be set to operate in Slave mode. Once set and
connected, the slaves will operate in unison with the master.
Configure the units as indicated below.
Slaves:
1. Press <MENU> repeatedly until SLnd shows on the display.
2. Press <ENTER> and SL-1 will show on the display.
3. Connect the DMX input of the first slave unit to the DMX output of the master.
4. Connect the DMX input of the subsequent slaves to the DMX output of the previous
slave.
5. Finish setting and connecting all the slaves.
Master:
1. Set the master to operate in a custom mix or Auto/Sound mode through the menu or
with the IRC-6.
2. Make the master the first unit in the daisy chain.
·
Configure all the slaves 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 10 slaves to the master.
