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 Colorado 3 Solo supports RDM protocol
that allows feedback to make changes to menu map options.
Master/Slave Connectivity
The Master/Slave mode allows a Colorado 3 Solo (the master) to control one or more Colorado 3 Solo
products (the slaves) without a DMX controller. One Colorado 3 Solo becomes the master when running
an auto or custom program, or by being in a 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.
