3.8 FIXTURE ID AND RDM
With this function you can call up various submenus via RDM.
This device is RDM ready. RDM stands for “Remote Device Management” and makes remote control of
devices connected to the DMX-bus possible. Manual settings like adjusting the DMX starting address are
no longer needed. This is especially useful when the device is installed in a remote area. RDM is integrated
in DMX without inuencing the connections. The RDM-data is transmitted via the standard XLR-poles
1and 2 – new DMX-cables are not necessary. RDM ready and conventional DMX devices can be operated
in one DMX line. The RDM protocol sends own packages in the DMX512 data feed and does not inuence
conventional devices. If DMX splitters are used and RDM control is to be used, these splitters must sup-
port RDM. The number and type of RDM parameters depend on the RDM controller (not included) is used.
