controller.

Remote Device Management
Remote Device Management (RDM) is a standard for allowing DMX-enabled devices to communicate bi-
directionally along existing DMX cabling. Check with the manufacturer or the DMX controller's User
Manual, as not all DMX controllers have this capability. The Ovation Rêve E-3 IP supports RDM protocol
that allows feedback to make changes to menu map options.
Master/Slave Connectivity
The Master/Slave mode allows an Ovation Rêve E-3 IP (the master) to control one or more Ovation Rêve E-
3 IP products (the slaves) without a DMX controller. Once Ovation Rêve E-3 IP becomes the master when
running an auto or custom program, or in Static mode.
Each slave's control panel must be configured 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.
