You can link the COLORado 1 Solo to a DMX controller using a 5-pin DMX connection. If using
other DMX-compatible products with the COLORado 1 Solo, you can control each individually
with a single DMX controller.
The COLORado 1 Solo uses a 5-pin DMX data connection for the HSIC, SSP, TOUR, TR16,
and STD.Y DMX personalities.

For optimum control of the 16-bit dimming channels in the TR16 and STD.Y
personalities, be sure that both dimming curves in SETTING > DIMMER are set to
OFF.
Remote Device Management, or RDM, is a standard for allowing DMX-enabled devices to
communicate bi-directionally along existing DMX cabling. Check the DMX controller's User
Manual or with the manufacturer as not all DMX controllers have this capability. The
COLORado 1 Solo supports RDM protocol that allows feedback to make changes to
menu map options.
The Master/Slave mode allows a COLORado 1 Solo (the master) to control one or more
COLORado 1 Solos (the slaves) without a DMX controller. One COLORado 1 Solo becomes
the master when running an auto or custom program, or by being in a Static mode.
You must configure each slave's control panel to operate in Slave mode. During Master/Slave
operation, the slaves will operate in unison with the master.
DO NOT connect a DMX controller to products operating in Master/Slave mode. The DMX
controller signals may interfere with the signals from the master.
·
The Operation section of this manual provides detailed instructions on how to
configure the master and slaves.
