Supported RDM functions
The G-4 Series features support for various RDM functions.
RDM (Remote Device Management) is a protocol enhancement to USITT DMX512 that allows bi-directional communication between
the fixtures and the controller over a standard DMX line. This protocol will allow configuration, status monitoring, and management.
You will need a RDM controller to get control over the supported parameters. See the tables below for supported RDM functions.

Please note:
The RDM controller communicates with the fixtures to show only the available options for each RDM function. The table is subject to change without notice.
