Legend™ 412 Series User Manual Rev. 04 -9-
DMX Linking
You can link the Legend™ 412 Series to a DMX controller using a standard 5-pin DMX
serial connection. If using other DMX compatible products with the Legend™ 412 Series,
you can control each individually with a single DMX controller.
DMX Modes
The Legend™ 412 Series uses the standard 5-pin DMX data connection for its ADVANCED
and BASIC DMX personalities.
Refer to the Introduction chapter for a brief description of these modes.
Refer to the Operation chapter to learn how to configure the Legend™ 412 Series to work in
these modes.
The DMX Values section will provide you with detailed information regarding the DMX
modes.
Master/Slave
Connectivity
The Master/Slave mode allows a Legend™ 412 or a Legend™ 412 VW (the “master unit”)
to control one or more Legend™ 412’s or Legend™ 412 VW’s (the “slave units”) without a
DMX controller. The product becomes the master unit when set in master mode via the
control panel. You must configure the slave units to operate in one of the two (2) slave
modes from their respective control panels. During the Master/Slave operation, the slave
units will operate in unison with the master unit or run offset depending on the slave mode
chosen.
Do not connect a Legend™ 412 together with a Legend™ 412 VW in Master/Slave
mode.
