Master/Slave Mode (Wired); Master/Slave Mode (D-Fi Usb) - Chauvet EVE E-100Z User Manual

Master/Slave Mode (Wired)

The Master/Slave mode allows a single EVE E-100Z V3 product (the "master") to control the actions of one
or more EVE E-100Z V3 products (the "slaves") without the need of a DMX controller. The master product
will be set to operate in Stand-Alone, 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 1-CH or 3-CH shows on the display.
2. Press <ENTER> to accept.
3. Set the DMX address to d 1.
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.
Master product:

2. 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.

Master/Slave Mode (D-Fi USB)

The D-Fi USB allows a single EVE E-100Z V3 product (the "master") to control the actions of one or more
EVE E-100Z V3 products (the "slaves") without the need of a DMX controller or DMX cables. The master
(transmitter) product will be set to operate in Stand-Alone mode, while the slave (receiver) products will be
set to operate in Slave mode. Once set and connected, the slave products will operate in unison with the
