Power Linking
The COLORado™ 1 Quad Tour supports power linking. You can power link up to 11
products at 120 VAC.
This product comes with a power input cord. This product does not come with a power
linking cable; however, a power linking cable is available as an option.
DMX Linking
You can link the COLORado™ 1 Quad Tour to a DMX controller using a standard DMX
serial connection. If using other DMX compatible products with the
COLORado™ 1 Quad
Tour, you can control each individually with a single DMX controller.
DMX Modes
The COLORado™ 1 Quad Tour uses the standard DMX data connection for the TOUR,
ARC.1, AR1.D, ARC.2, AR2.D, AR2.S, and HSV DMX modes.
Refer to the Introduction chapter for a brief description of these modes.
Refer to the Operation chapter to learn how to configure the COLORado™ 1 Quad Tour to
work in these modes.
The DMX Values section provides detailed information regarding the DMX modes.
Master/Slave
Connectivity
The Master/Slave mode allows a COLORado™ 1 Quad Tour (the “master product”) to
control one or more COLORado™ 1 Quad Tours (the “slave products”)
without a DMX
controller. One COLORado™ 1 Quad Tour becomes the master product
when running an
Auto or Custom program, or by being in Static (STAT) mode.
You must configure each slave product’s control panel to operate in Slave (SLAV) mode.
During Master/Slave operation, the slave products will operate in unison with the master
product.
If you are not familiar with or need more information about DMX standards, Master/Slave
connectivity, or the DMX cables needed to link this product to a DMX controller, download
the DMX Primer from the CHAUVET® website: www.chauvetpro.com.
