Virtual RDM Device
lightJuice CV4 is treated as a virtual RDM
device, with 4 sub-devices corresponding
to each output channel of the RGBW circuit.
The start address of the sub-devices can be
chaged in the pull-down menu.
Before running DMX-Workshop, configure the
IPv4 settings of the network card being used
to connect to lightJuice CV4 as shown below.
The IP address can be anything in the 2.*.*.*
range so long as it is different from the IP
address of the lightJuice CV4.
DMX-Workshop™ is a software application
that runs on Windows XP / 7 / 8 / 10. It is a

When lightJuice CV4 is connected to a
computer running DMX-Workshop, it should
be detected and displayed as an Art-Net
node (click the ‘Node List’ tab to verify this).
The node can be expanded to show the
configuration and DMX output information,
as shown in the screen-shot below.
The lightJuice CV4 unit is shown as an Art-
Net node (1) containing a virtual RDM device
(2). The RGBW circuit of lightJuice CV4 is
assigned its own 4 sub-devices (3).
Right-clicking on any entry brings up a menu
that offers various functionality:
y
The ‘Configure Node’ option enables
configuration of the Universe, Sub-Net
and Net values. It also allows the user to
give the device a short and long name.
y
‘Copy to clipboard’ enables all the node
information to be pasted into a support
request email.
y
‘Merge Controls’ (selectable only on
individual DMX outputs) enables the
choice of LTP or HTP merge modes.
y
‘Indicators’ enables selection of normal,
identify or mute for the LED indicators.
Normal is the default behaviour, identify
causes the power LED to flash, and
mute turns off all the LEDs.
y
‘RDM Devices’ offers options for device
discovery on RDM networks.
y
‘Advanced’ leads to ‘Configure IP
Address’, described in more detail below.
