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.
With RDM function, you can set the DMX address of your fixtures remotely. This is especially useful
when the device is installed in a remote area.
Each PR-300W has a factory set RDM UID (unique identification number).
Note: Before operation, enable RDM function in Advanced settings.
Art-Net protocol
The fixtures on a data link are connected to the Ethernet with Art-Net™ communication protocol. The
control software running on your PC (or light console) has to support Art-Net protocol.
Art-Net™ communication protocol is a 10 Base T Ethernet protocol based on the TCP/IP. Its purpose is
to allow transfer of large amounts of DMX 512 data over a wide area using standard network technology.
