Operation
Using a DMX controller:
• Use a DMX cable to connect your VividPar HEX 6 to the DMX in/out sockets on
the bottom of the light. 
Using Master/Slave Mode:
The Master/Slave mode allows a group of VividPar HEX 6 units (the slaves) to
duplicate the output of another VividPar HEX 6 (the master) without a DMX
controller.
-
Set each of the slaves:
◼ Go to SLNd in the main menu and press enter.
◼ Select SL1. -
Set the master:
◼ Go to SLNd in the main menu and press enter.
◼ Select Nast.
- The master (Nast) is the unit that runs your program whether in one of the static color modes or various Auto programs.
Using Slave modes (SL1,SL2,SL3,SL4) to create a light show
Using 5 or more lights for the best effect, VividPar HEX 6 can help create
auto-light shows by setting lights in order from Master, SL1, SL2, SL3, SL4
and engaging Auto Programs on the Master fixture.
-
Set each of the desired slaves SL1, SL2, SL3, SL4: ◼ Go to SLNd in the main menu and press enter.
◼ Select SL1.
◼ Repeat steps for each slave fixture SL2, SL3, and SL4 -
Set the master:
◼ Go to SLNd in the main menu and press enter.
◼ Select Nast.
- For best effect, have lights connected in sequence from Master, to SL1, to SL2, to SL3, to SL4.
- Accessing the (ShNd) programs on the Master light will now create varying displays of synchronized light on the master and slave fixtures through (Auto) and (SoUn) functions.
