The headlight can be controlled via sACN - Streaming ACN. To do this, set the sACN address
via the menu item DMX / NET ADDR -> SACN ADDRESS and also select it via the menu item
PERSONALITY -> DMX INPUT CONFIG -> NETWORK -> MODE -> SACN. In addition, define
the IP address of the spotlight via PERSONALITY -> DMX INPUT CONFIG -> NETWORK -> IP

5.4 Wireless-DMX
The Sparx 12 Profile is equipped with a Lumen Radio CRMX receiver for wireless DMX. The receiv-
er can process both DMX and RDM. If there is a cable and wireless connection to the Sparx 12,
the cable connection has priority! The received signal can be output via the DMX connection. To
do this, set the DMX OUTPUT CONFIG setting to ON in the PERSONALITY menu. After confirming
with ENTER, the spotlight will output the entire universe received via wireless DMX.
5.5 RDM
The Sparx 12 Profile 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
Sparx 12 Profile 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 Sparx 12 Profile has a factory-set RDM-UID (unique identification number), which makes
it addressable and identifiable in RDM systems.
5.5.1 RDM-UID
The Sparx 12 Profile supports the RDM PIDs (parameter IDs) required by ESTA as well as man-
ufacturer-specific PIDs.
