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.

PIXEL GROUPING
Each pixel requires three channels (red, green, and blue) to operate, and therefore the number of pixels (and consequently, the number of devices) that the driver can control is limited by the total number of control channels available on the driver. However, this driver also gives the user the ability to adjust the pixel grouping configuration. In the standard configuration, individual pixels are controlled independently for finer control over the resolution of the 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. The downside to this is the reduced resolution of the lighting display. In each pixel control mode, the first number denotes the number of individual pixels that make up each control group, while the second number denotes the number of control groups. Each control group will always occupy 3 DMX channels (for red, green, and blue control). This means that within each control group, all pixels will be controlled by the same set of 3 DMX channels. For example, let us examine a 30-pixel strip, as shown below. Selecting 2x15 mode means that the pixels will be divided into 15 control groups, with each group containing 2 LEDs.
In this mode, a total of 45 DMX channels are used: 3 DMX channels (for Red, Green, Blue) per group multiplied by 15 groups. If we want to reduce the number of control groups required, one possible solution is to select a different pixel grouping mode. For instance, selecting 3x10 mode will result in the LED display being divided into 10 control groups each containing 3 pixels. Therefore, the number of DMX channels required drops to 30: 10 control groups multiplied by 3 DMX channels (for Red, Green, and Blue) per group.
Available pixel grouping modes are shown in the tables on the following pages.
