Master/Slave Mode - Chauvet DJ Cosmos HP User Manual

Master/Slave Mode

The Master/Slave mode allows a single Cosmos HP product (the "master") to control the actions of one or
more Cosmos HP products (the "slaves") without the need of a DMX controller. The master product will be
set to operate in either standalone mode 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 6Ch shows on the display.
2. Press <ENTER>.
3. Use <UP> or <DOWN> to set the starting address to A001.
4. Press <ENTER>.
5. Connect the DMX input of the first slave product to the DMX output of the master product.
6. Connect the DMX input of the subsequent slave products to the DMX output of the previous slave
product.
7. Finish setting and connecting all the slave products.
Master product:
1. Set the master product to operate in standalone mode or with the IRC-6.
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.
