OPERATION
Pixel Bar fixtures have no external controls and instead rely on RDM (Remote Device
Management) for all configuration via the DMX interface. This allows multiple devices to be
configured either before or after installation.
The main two items that need to be configured on each fixture (via RDM) are:
•
The DMX address, and (see page 15)
•
The DMX personality
(see page 16)
Various third party DMX/RDM tools are available; we recommend the Acclaim Lighting XMT-
350 for this task.
MAKING A TEMPORARY CONTROL LINK WITH THE XMT-350
Each Acclaim lighting XMT-350 DMX/RDM tool is supplied with a 5-pin male XLR lead that
can be used to make a temporary control input link with the Pixel Bar feed-in cable. Use a
3-pin terminal block, wire nuts, conn blocks or Wago® connectors to temporarily join the
two cables:
