REMOTE DEVICE MANAGEMENT (RDM)

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 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 used 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.
Please be aware that not all devices support all RDM features, and therefore it is
important to check beforehand to ensure that the equipment that you are
considering includes all of the features that you required.
The following parameters are accessible in RDM on this device:
