Remote Device Management (Rdm) - ADJ 12P HEX IP User Manual

NOTE: In order for RDM to work properly, RDM enabled equipment must be used throughout
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 proto-
col 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 con-
troller 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 typi-
cally have to be changed or viewed directly via the unit's display screen, including the DMX Address,
DMX Channel Mode, and Temperature Sensors.
