DMX ADDRESSING
In order to start controlling the product via DMX, the first step is to select a DMX address, also known as the
start channel, this is the first channel used to receive instructions from a DMX controller. If you wish to control
the product individually, it is necessary to assign a different starting address channel to each fixture.
The number of channels occupied from the product depends on the DMX mode selected, so always verify the
DMX Mode before start addressing.
If you assign two fixtures the same address, they will be executing the same behaviour. Selecting the same
address to multiple fixtures can be useful for diagnostic purposes and symmetrical control.
DMX addressing is limited to make it impossible to set the DMX address so high that you are left without
enough control channels for the product.
Set the fixture’s DMX address by RDM with the DATAMASTER.
7 - RDM FUNCTIONS
The product can communicate using RDM (Remote Device Management) protocol over a DMX512
Networks.
RDM is a bi-directional communications protocol for use in DMX512 control systems, it is the open
standard for DMX512 device configuration and status monitoring.
The RDM protocol allows data packets to be inserted into a DMX512 data stream without affecting
existing non-RDM equipment. It allows a console or dedicated RDM controller to send commands to
and receive messages from specific fixtures.
The PIDs in the following tables are supported in the product.
