COREbar™ 4 User Manual
The Master/Slave mode allows a single COREbar™ 4 unit (the "master") to control the
actions of one or more COREbar™ 4 units (the "slaves") without the need of a DMX
controller. The master unit will be set to operate in either Automatic or Sound-Active
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 any DMX personality 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 unit to the DMX output of the master unit.
5.
Connect the DMX input of the subsequent slave units to the DMX output of the
previous slave unit.
6.
Finish setting and connecting all the slave units.
Master unit:
1.
Set the master unit to operate in either Automatic mode or Sound-Active 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.
The COREbar™ 4 can also use the footswitch connection for its Master/Slave mode.
Additional footswitch options in this mode which are specific to the COREbar™ 4 are as
follows:
· Hold down the PRESETS pedal to activate the instant fade program.
· Hold down the SOUND pedal to activate a white strobe.
· Hold down the BLACKOUT pedal to activate a fade-out. Hold down the BLACKOUT
pedal again to activate a fade-in.
Note: These additional options may not be available when in Master/Slave mode
with 4BAR™ products.
