transmitter, the data will be received by the SHoW DMX SHoW Baby(s) set up as
receiver(s) and the transmitted DMX will be output from the receiver unit’s DMX OUT.
The received signal strength will be displayed on the four
LO – RF Signal – HI

is three or more LEDs, and weaker signal is two or less.

RDM Operation
RDM stands for Remote Device Management. RDM is a lighting control protocol enhancement
to DMX512 specified by PLASA (formerly ESTA); the official name is
ANSI/ESTA E1.20,
Entertainment Technology - Remote Device Management over USITT DMX512
.
To learn more about RDM, a good place to start is the Wikipedia article on RDM (lighting) at:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RDM_(lighting)
SHoW DMX SHoW Baby is fully enabled as an RDM proxy system, so you can use RDM to
manage your SHoW DM SHoW Baby system and any connected RDM responders that are
downstream of the system.
In order to use RDM, you will also need an RDM controller or a lighting control console with a
built-in RDM controller.
