What is RDM ?
RDM is the new standard that allows your lights, dimmers or any other compliant DMX512 device to talk back to the controller (your lighting desk for example). This allows the controller to get feedback information such as if the dimmer is overloaded, what the current draw is, what the mains voltage is, or what the moving light is currently doing. You can also "discover" all the light fixtures in your rig and set the DMX addresses remotely !
We have designed 2 FREE programs that will allow you to make your first steps with RDM. These programs both fully support the FULL RDM spec and rely on the very low cost DMX USB Pro for DMX communication.

| DMX USB PRO | RDM USB PRO | |

These applications are built on the ENTTEC RDM Stack (contact us for licensing) and the DMX USB Pro with firmware V2.1 to communicate. Both programs (Controller & Responder) can be run on the same computer with 2 DMX USB Pros connected to each other with a DMX patch lead.
