It also operates in Master/Slave mode, or in Wireless DMX mode, both of which require wireless DMX
linking. In Master/Slave mode the master product sends wireless DMX signals to the slaves. In Wireless
DMX mode a lighting control board or D-Fi™ product must send wireless DMX signals to the products.
