You may link the COLORado™ Ridge IP to a DMX controller using a standard DMX serial
connection. If using other DMX compatible products with this product, you can control them
individually with a single DMX controller.
The COLORado™ Ridge IP uses the standard DMX data connection for the Tour, ARC.1,
AR1.D, ARC.3, AR3.D, AR3.S, and HSV, DMX modes. You will find information about
these DMX modes in the Introduction chapter (brief description), the Operation chapter
(configuration details), and the DMX Values section (individual channel values).
The Master/Slave mode enables a COLORado™ Ridge IP (the "master unit") to control
one or more COLORado™ Ridge IPs (the "slave units") without a DMX controller. The
COLORado™ Ridge IP becomes the master unit when running an auto or custom
program, or by being in STAT mode. You must configure the slave units to operate in
SLAV mode from their respective control panels. During the Master/Slave operation, the
slave units will operate in unison with the master unit.
If you are not familiar with the DMX standard, master/slave connectivity, or if you need
information about the DMX cables needed to link this product to a DMX controller, you may
download the document DMX Primer from the CHAUVET® website:
DO NOT connect a DMX controller to the products operating in Master/Slave mode.
Otherwise, the signals from the DMX controller may interfere with the signals from
the master unit.
The Operation chapter of this manual provides detailed instructions on how to
configure the Master and Slave units.
