Configuration Set the product in one of the standalone modes to control without a DMX controller. · Connect the product to a suitable power outlet. (Standalone) Never connect a product that is operating in any standalone mode (either Static, Auto, or Sound-Active) to a DMX string connected to a DMX controller. Products in standalone mode may transmit DMX signals that could interfere with the DMX signals from the controller.
Master/Slave The Master/Slave mode allows a single COLORband™ PiX unit (the master) to control the actions of one or more COLORband™ PiX units (the slaves) without the need of a Mode 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.
