P18 MK2 Wash
6.5 RDM
The P18 MK2 Wash can communicate via RDM (Remote Device Management) in accordance
with ESTA American National Standard E1.20-2006. RDM is a bidirectional communication
protocol for use in DMX512 control systems. It is the open standard for the configuration and
status monitoring of DMX-512 devices. The RDM protocol enables data packets to be inserted
into a DMX-512 data stream without affecting existing non-RDM devices. It enables a console
or dedicated RDM controller to send commands to specific devices and receive messages.
The P18 can send and receive RDM via DMX and Artnet 4. The spotlight is also designed to
send RDM via sACN and receive it via Artnet. The RDM functionality depends on the lighting
control desk used, the operating instructions of the respective desk manufacturer must also be
observed.
Every P18 MK2 Wash has a factory-set RDM-UID (unique identification number), which makes it
addressable and identifiable in RDM systems.
