REMOTE DEVICE MANAGEMENT RDM

NOTE: In order for RDM to work properly, RDM enabled equipment must be used throughout the entire system, including DMX data splitters and wireless systems.
Remote Device Management (RDM) is a protocol that sits on top of the DMX512 data standard for lighting, allowing the DMX systems of the device to be managed, modified, and monitored remotely (hence, remote device management). This protocol is ideal for fixtures installed in locations that are not easily accessible.
With RDM, the DMX512 system becomes bi-directional, allowing a compatible RDM enabled controller to send out a signal to devices on the wire, as well as allowing the fixture to respond (known as a GET command). The controller can then use it’s SET command to modify settings that would typically have to be changed or viewed directly via the unit’s display screen, including the DMX Address, DMX Channel Mode, and Temperature Sensors.

RDM Code	Device ID	Device Model ID	Personality ID
1900	0000-FFFF	0007	N/A

Please be aware that not all RDM devices support all RDM features, and therefore it is important to check beforehand to ensure that the equipment that you are considering includes all of the features that you require.
The following parameters are accessible in RDM on this device:

DRIVER OUTPUT LIMITATIONS

• There is a limitation to how many pixels can be controlled by each driver output port, which in turn determines the maximum number of lighting fixtures that can be controlled by a single output or driver.
• The values listed in the following tables for number of fixtures per driver port/driver unit are representative of the maximum number of fixtures that can be connected if the fixtures used are all of the same model type, with individual pixel control.
• For example, if you connect only Pixie Strip 30s to the driver, and operate the driver in Kling-Net mode, you can connect up to 34 units of that model type to each driver port. This is defined by the fact that each driver port can handle a maximum of 1020 pixels, and each Pixie Strip 30 fixture is made up of 30 pixels. Therefore, you have 1020 pixels per driver port, divided by 30 pixels per fixture, which equals 34 fixtures per driver port.
• It is possible to mix and match Pixie Strip model types that are attached to a single driver port. In this case, the important thing to keep in mind is the maximum number of pixels per driver port.
• As long as this value is not exceeded, any combination of Pixie Strip 30s, 60s, and 120s may be used.

PIXIE STRIP 30/60/120

MODEL	TOTAL PIXELS	TOTAL CONTROL CHAN.	KLING-NET / ARTNET / sACN MAX PIXELS PER PORT = 1020 MAX PIXELS PER DRIVER = 2040
			MAX FIXTURES per DRIVER PORT	MAX PIXELS per DRIVER PORT	MAX FIXTURES per DRIVER UNIT	MAX PIXELS per DRIVER UNIT
Pixie Strip 30	30	90	34	1020	68	2040
Pixie Strip 60	60	180	17	1020	34	2040
Pixie Strip 120	120	360	8	960	16	1920

DRIVER OUTPUT LIMITATIONS

• Your Pixie Driver 2000 V3 is programmed not to allow Pixie Strip fixtures to be added in such a way that the maximum number of pixels per port would be exceeded. This is done by limiting the number of Pixie Strip units that can be selected in the System Menu based on what has already been set up on the unit.
• If we look at the example from the previous section, where 34 Pixie Strip 30s have been set up on a single port in Kling-Net mode, the System Menu will not allow any further fixtures to be set up on that port, regardless of model. This is because 34 fixtures, times 30 pixels per fixture, occupies 1020 pixels. If we then tried to set up a Pixie Strip 60, the System Menu would not allow any values other than “0” to be selected, because the port has no remaining free pixel capacity. If you are having trouble adding the desired number of fixtures to a driver port, double check the number of fixtures of other Pixie Strip models that have been set up to see if they are using up all of the available pixel space on that port.
  

  PIXELS IN USE		PIXELS FREE
  34 x Pixie Strip 30	1020 pixels	1020 pixel capacity – 1020 pixels in use   0 pixels free
  0 x Pixie Strip 60	0 pixels
  0 x Pixie Strip 120	0 pixels
  	1020 total pixels in use

   

• In this case, we would first need to “make room” on this driver port by reducing the number of Pixie Strip 30s that are set up. If we reduce the number of Pixie Strip 30s by two units, we then have a total free pixel capacity of 60 pixels on this port.
  

  PIXELS IN USE		PIXELS FREE
  32 x Pixie Strip 30	960 pixels	1020 pixel capacity – 960 pixels in use   60 pixels free
  0 x Pixie Strip 60	0 pixels
  0 x Pixie Strip 120	0 pixels
  	960 total pixels in use

   

• Now that we have freed up pixels on this driver port, we are able to add the Pixie Strip 60, as desired. The System Menu now allows you to increase the number of Pixie Strip 60s on this driver port to 1, but it will not allow you to increase the number any higher because there are not enough pixels free to add more than 1 Pixie Strip 60. Notice, too, that the only selectable value for Pixie Strip 120s is “0” due to the fact that 60 free pixels is not enough to run a single Pixie Strip 120.
  

  PIXELS IN USE		PIXELS FREE
  32 x Pixie Strip 30	960 pixels	1020 pixel capacity – 1020 pixels in use   0 pixels free
  1 x Pixie Strip 60	60 pixels
  0 x Pixie Strip 120	0 pixels
  	1020 total pixels in use

   

• If you are having trouble adding the desired number of fixtures to a driver port, double check the num-ber of fixtures of other Pixie Strip models that have been set up to see if they are using up all of the available pixel space on that port.

RGB PIXEL CONTROL

• This feature gives the user the ability to adjust the RGB Pixel Control configuration of the device. Individual pixels may be controlled independently for finer control over the resolution of the device’s lighting display. Alternately, multiple individual pixels may be grouped together under a common set of control channels in order to reduce the number of required control channels. This also reduces the effective pixel count for each fixture, thereby allowing an increased number of fixtures to be operated off of the same driver port (see the Driver Output Limitations section). The downside to this is the reduced resolution of the lighting display.
• For example, if the user is setting up a Pixie Strip 30 containing thirty (30) individual pixels, the finest level of control would be 1×30, which signifies 30 groups of 1 pixel each. In a 1×30 pixel control configuration, each of the 30 pixels is controlled independently, giving the lighting display a fine degree of resolution. However, each individual pixel requires 3 control channels (Red, Green, and Blue), and therefore 90 control channels are required to operate the device in this configuration, in addition to the need for the driver port to have free capacity to control at least 30 pixels.
• If using fewer control channels or less driver port pixel capacity is desired, the user may opt for a different pixel control configuration, such as 2×15. This configuration separates the lighting display into 15 groups, each containing 2 individual pixels, with each group being controlled by a single set of control channels. Thus, the requirement for number of control channels is reduced to 45 (15 groups each requiring 3 control channels for Red, Green, and Blue). Moreover, each group of 2 pixels can now be treated effectively as a single large pixel, reducing the required driver port free pixel capacity to just 15 pixels. This is particularly useful when operating in Art-Net or sACN mode, where each driver port can accommodate a relatively limited number of pixels.

RGB PIXEL CONTROL

Available pixel control modes:

Pixie Strip 30	Pixie Strip 60	Pixie Strip 120
30×1	60×1	120×1
15×2	30×2	60×2

MAX PATCH

In Artnet or sACN mode, this driver features a Max Patch function, which allows the user to configure a group of fixtures into an assembly that resembles a large video panel. Follow the steps below:

1. Link your fixtures to the driver. A string of connected fixtures may be connected to each port, as long as the number of pixels per port conform to the limits listed in the KlingNet/Artnet/sACN table in the Driver Output Limitations section of this manual.
   
2. In the system menu, navigate to either Artnet > Max Patch En/Dis or sACN > Max Patch En/Dis, depending on which mode is in use. Press the SET UP button, then use the UP and DOWN buttons to toggle this setting to “Enable”.
3. Navigate to either Artnet > Max Patch or sACN > Max Patch, depending on which mode is in use. Press the SET UP button.
4. Use the UP and DOWN buttons to set values for X and Y. X and Y represent the number of pixels in the patch as defined in the illustration above. Please note, the values for X and Y are in terms of individual lighting pixels, and NOT whole lighting fixtures. For example, if the fixtures in the illustration above are Pixie Strip 30s (which have 30 pixels per fixture), then X = 90 pixels (3 units x 30 pixels per unit), and Y = 4 pixels.

SYSTEM MENU

The device includes an easy to navigate system menu control panel display where all necessary settings and adjustments are made (see image below).

• The MODE button is used to cycle through main menu options, or to return to the previous menu.
• The SETUP button is used to select an option in either the main menu or the sub-menu of any main menu item, and to cycle through the sub-menu options.
• The UP and DOWN buttons are used to adjust the values of the sub-menu options.
  

DMX ADDRESS FOR PIXIE STRIPS SETUP
When setting up this driver to control Pixie Strips in either ArtNet Mode or sACN Control Mode, the user has the ability to manually select the DMX address by navigating to the “Pixie Strip Setup” sub-menu, then selecting the “DMX Channel” option. However, selecting this value manually is NOT necessary, as this driver is intelligent enough to assign the DMX addresses automatically according to the number of control channels required by each device being controlled.
