RDM CONTROL

This unit can communicate using RDM (Remote Device Management) via DMX512. RDM is a bi-directional communication protocol for use in DMX512 control systems, it is the open standard for DMX512 configuration and status monitoring.

The RDM protocol allows data packets to be inserted into a DMX512 line without affecting the existing non-RDM equipment. The system allows a controller or special RDM controller to send and receive commands from specific fixtures.

The RDM function allows you, for example to remotely set the DMX start address of your fixtures. This is especially useful when the fixture is installed in an inaccessible location. Each unit has an RDM UID (unique identification number).
