What is RDM?
Remote Device Management or RDM is a protocol enhancement to DMX512 that allows bi-directional
communication between a lighting or system controller and attached RDM compliant devices over a
standard DMX line. This protocol will allow configuration, status monitoring, and management of
these devices in such a way that does not disturb the normal operation of standard DMX512 devices
that do not recognize the RDM protocol,
( source: www.rdmprotocol.org )
Note: RDM cannot be used when using the sACN protocol because the sACN protocol (E1.31)
doesn't currently support RDM officially. Once ratified, this will be a simple software update for the IQ
nodes.
Priority:
By selecting " Priority ", a new window will open:
Here port priority (0 - 200) can be set. When signal is lost for the highest priority port, the DMX signal
will be taken from the port that has the next highest priority when addressed to the same universe.
This is useful when two DMX sources need to be prioritized while operating as the same DMX
address. When two priority levels are the same, HTP Merging will occur.
