COLORado™ 1-Tri IP User Manual Rev. 01c -7-
DMX Linking
You may link any COLORado™ 1-Tri IP fixture to a DMX controller using a standard
DMX serial connection. If using other DMX compatible fixtures with a COLORado™ 1-
Tri IP fixture, it is possible to control them individually with a single DMX controller.
If you are not familiar with the DMX standard, or if you need information about the DMX
cables needed to link the COLORado™ 1-Tri IP fixture to a DMX controller, you may
download the “DMX Primer” document from the CHAUVET® Web site.
The COLORado™ 1-Tri IP comes with two adapter cables, one from proprietary
IP66 to 3-pin DMX In and the other from proprietary IP66 to 3-pin DMX Out. In
addition, it comes with a signal linking cable with proprietary IP66 connectors on
both ends.
DMX Modes
The COLORado™ 1-Tri IP uses the standard DMX data connection for its DMX modes,
TOUR, ARC1, AR1+D, AR1+S, and HSV.
You will find information about these DMX modes in the Introduction chapter (brief
description), the Operation Instructions chapter (configuration details), and the DMX
Values section (individual channel values).
Master/Slave
Connectivity
The Master/Slave mode allows a COLORado™ 1-Tri IP fixture to control one or more
COLORado™ 1-Tri IP fixtures without a DMX controller. The controlling fixture becomes
the “master” when running an auto or custom program as well as when in STATIC
mode. The controlled fixtures are the “slaves” and you must set them to “SLAVE” mode
from their respective control panels. During the Master/Slave operation, the slave
fixtures will operate in unison with the master fixture.
The master and slave fixtures link to each other using the standard DMX serial
connection. If you are not familiar with the Master/Slave connectivity, you may download
the “DMX Primer” document from the CHAUVET® Web site.
DO NOT connect a DMX controller to the fixtures 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.
ID Addressing
The COLORado™ 1-Tri IP uses the ID Addressing feature to increase the number of
addressable fixtures in the same DMX universe when in the TOUR personality. Refer to
the Operation chapter in this manual to learn in detail how to configure the
COLORado™ 1-Tri IP fixtures when using ID Addressing. If you are not familiar with the
various connection methods when using ID Addressing, you may download the “DMX
Primer” document from the CHAUVET® Web site.
