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.
