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.
1. Set each of the slaves:
◼Go to SLNd in the main menu and press enter.
◼Select SL1.
2. 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 5 or more lights for 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.

◼Repeat steps for each slave fixture SL2, SL3, and SL4

◼Select NASt.
•For best effect, have lights connected in sequence from Master, to SL1, to SL2, to

functions.
