Now that title had you wondering!

Having a slight trauma with my I-Show's and wondered if anyone could offer some advice.

I have 4 I-Show 6b's. All power up and work fine. However, two of them seem to be determined to only run as master units. That's fine for one of them, but it means the other one sits at the end of the chain and runs on it's own. looks a little odd.

Now I know I need to try swaping over the two masters to see if actually only one of them is playing up (which would be fine because then I could only use the faulty one as the master), but anyone got any ideas? It sort of sounds to me like the control chip needs replacing, or am I missing something really obvious?

Try addressing them again Rice.

On the digital display, make sure that the last fixture is set to the correct setting (master 1 I think) and then it will fall in line with the rest.

This happened to me on Friday last week with my moving heads, but without one in front of me, I can't be exact on how to fix the problem - sorry.

I thought all four units needed to be set as slave 1 or slave 2?

Where's the setting for "master 1"? I thought just the first unit needed to be set to master?
