Master/Slave
Mode (Cont.)
For the master:

Set the master unit to operate in either Automatic or Sound-Active mode.

because the controller may interfere with the signals from the master.

cable.

Connect a DMX cable from the DMX output of the DMX controller to the DMX input socket
on the product.
DMX Personality
and Starting
Address
When selecting a DMX starting address, always consider the number of DMX channels used by
the fixture. If you choose a starting address that is too high, you could restrict the access to
some of the product’s channels.
The GigBAR 2 uses 3-, 11- and 23-channel DMX personalities, which means the highest DMX
address you can use is 490 .
