Start-up and operation are only possible with a DMX-RDM controller.
•
The DMX / RDM protocol is used for signal transmission and control.
Addressing via DMX
DMX (Digital Multiplex) is a standardised digital transmission protocol used in stage and event equipment as well as in
many Oase components.
The DMX channel and the mode can be changed by means of a DMX controller (WECS made by OASE). Read the
corresponding operating instructions

Addressing via DMX-RDM
RDM (Remote Device Management) is a new, open and bi-directional protocol standard for DMX-controlled devices.
The permanently transmitted DMX data flow briefly pauses (several milliseconds), and an RDM data package (messa-
ge) is sent directly to a subscriber. The subscriber evaluates the information in the data package and sends an answer
(semi-duplex) on the same line. Targeted polling to a subscriber via its UID (Unique ID) prevents several subscribers
from answering simultaneously.
The protocol makes it possible to receive status information about a unit or to change configurations on a unit. Chan-
ging the configuration means, e.g. changing the DMX address. The prerequisite for this function is a RDM-compatible
controller. Read the corresponding operating instructions
All unit outputs can be accessed individually and simultaneously. Two different operating modes can be selected. The
operating mode can only be configured by means of the Personality ID via RDM.
