Master/Slave Mode - Chauvet Mini Kinta User Manual

Master/Slave
Mode
Page 12 of 15
The Master/Slave mode allows a single Mini Kinta™ unit (the "master") to control the
actions of one or more Mini Kinta™ units (the "slaves") without the need of a DMX
controller. The master unit will be set to operate in auto/sound mode, while the slave
units will be set to operate in slave mode. Once set and connected, the slave units will
operate in unison with the master unit.
Configure the units as indicated below.
Slave units:
1. Press <MENU> repeatedly until SLnd shows on the display.
Press <ENTER> to accept and SL-1 or SL-2 shows on the display.
2.
3. If not already showing on the display, press <UP> or <DOWN> to select SL-1.
4. Press <ENTER>.
5. Set the DMX address to 001.
6. Connect the DMX input of the first slave unit to the DMX output of the master unit.
7. Connect the DMX input of the subsequent slave units to the DMX output of the
previous slave unit.
8. Finish setting and connecting all the slave units.
Master unit:
1. Set the master unit to operate in auto/sound mode.
2. Make the master unit the first unit in the DMX daisy chain.
• Configure all the slave units before connecting the master unit to the DMX
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 unit.
• Do not connect more than 31 slave units to the master unit.
