Remote Device Management

Remote Device Management, or 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 E-910FC supports RDM protocol that
allows feedback to make changes to menu map options.

Master/Slave Connectivity

The Master/Slave mode allows an Ovation E-910FC (the master) to control one or more Ovation E-910FC
products (the slaves) without a DMX controller. One Ovation E-910FC 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.
• The Operation
