Remote Device Management (Rdm) - Elation PROTEUS HYBRID User Manual

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
stan-dard 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.
