DMX Linking

The Ovation F-55WW will work with a DMX controller using a 5-pin DMX serial connection. A DMX Primer is available from www.chauvetprofessional.com.

DMX Connection

The Ovation F-55WW uses a 5-pin DMX for its DMX personalities: 1Ch, 2Ch, and 5Ch. See the User Manual for information about connecting and configuring the product for DMX operation.

Master/Slave Connection

The Ovation F-55WW uses the DMX data connection for its Master/Slave mode. See the User Manual for information about how to connect and configure the product for master/slave operation.

RDM (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 the DMX controller's User Manual or with the manufacturer as not all DMX controllers have this capability. The Ovation F-55WW supports RDM protocol that allows feedback to make changes to menu map options. Download the User Manual from www.chauvetprofessional.com for more details.
