RDM
Remote Device Management, a bidirectional protocol layered on DMX512 for discovery, configuration, and status reporting.
Setup
- Compatible controllers can identify devices, set addresses, and read faults over suitable DMX infrastructure; responders, splitters, topology, and discovery behavior must support RDM.
Venue contexts
- Theatre, concerts, festivals, broadcast, and corporate events, as applicable
Signal flow
- Confirm the source, patch, transport, control, and destination for the system involved.
In practice
Compatible controllers can identify devices, set addresses, and read faults over suitable DMX infrastructure; responders, splitters, topology, and discovery behavior must support RDM.
