Master/Slave Mode - Chauvet DJ COLORband Q3BT User Manual

Master/Slave Mode

The Master/Slave mode allows a single COLORband Q3BT product (the "master") to control the actions of
one or more COLORband Q3BT 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.
Configure the products as indicated below.
Slave products:
1. Press <MENU> repeatedly until 4Ch shows on the display.
2. Press <ENTER>.
3. Set the DMX address to d001.
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.

8. 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.
