Remote Device Management (RDM)
Remote Device Management, or RDM, is a standard for allowing DMX-enabled devices to communicate
bi-directionally along existing DMX cabling. Check the DMX controller's User Manual or with the
manufacturer as not all DMX controllers have this capability. The STRIKE 1 supports RDM protocol that
allows feedback to make changes to menu map options.
Master/Slave Connectivity
The Master/Slave mode allows a STRIKE 1 (the master) to control one or more STRIKE 1 products (the
slaves) without a DMX controller. One STRIKE 1 becomes the master when running an auto program, or
by being in Static mode.
You must configure each slave's control panel to operate in Slave mode. During Master/Slave operation,
the slaves will operate in unison with the master.
DO NOT connect a DMX controller to products operating in Master/Slave mode. The
DMX controller signals may interfere with the signals from the master.
