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 device to be managed, modified, and monitored
remotely (hence, remote device management). This protocol is ideal for fixtures installed in
locations that are 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 it's 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.
