Remote Device Management (Rdm) - Elation KL FRESNEL 6 User Manual

R E M O T E D E V I C E M A N A G E M E N T ( R D M )
NOTE: In order for RDM to work properly, RDM enabled equipment must be used through-
out the entire system, including DMX data splitters and wireless systems.
Remote Device Management (RDM) is a protocol that sits on top of the DMX512 data standard
for lighting, allowing the DMX systems of the fixtures to be modified and monitored remotely.
This protocol is ideal for instances in which a unit is installed in a location that is not easily
accessible.
With RDM, the DMX512 system becomes bi-directional, allowing a compatible RDM enabled
controller to send out a signal to devices on the wire, as well as allowing the fixture to
respond (known as a GET command). The controller can then use its SET command to modify
settings that would typically have to be changed or viewed directly via the unit's display
screen, including the DMX Address, DMX Channel Mode, and Temperature Sensors.
