Regarding RDM
RDM stands for "Remote Device
Management" and makes remote control of
devices connected to the DMX bus possible.
RDM is an extension of the DMX512 protocol.
RDM is especially useful when the device is
installed in a remote area.
RDM is integrated in DMX without influencing
the connections. RDM data is transmitted via
the standard XLR pins 1 and 2 and does not
require a new cable type. RDM-ready and
conventional DMX devices can be operated in
one DMX line. If DMX splitters are used, they
must support RDM.
