RDM FUNCTIONS / REMOTE SETUP
RDM means "Remote Device Management". This projector works with a brief set of RDM-functions which
means that it can setup a bi-directional communication with an RDM-compatible DMX-controller. Some of
these functions are briefly explained below, others will be added in the future.
The DMX-controller sends out a "discovery command", all RDM devices respond and send their unique
device ID.
The DMX-controller asks each RDM device for some basic data so it knows which devices are connected.
The projector will respond:
Device name: the actual name of the unit
Manufacturer: Briteq
Category: LED Dimmer
Firmware: x.x.x.x
DMX address: xxx
DMX footprint: xx
Personality: xx
The DMX-controller can send certain commands to each RDM device which allow remote setup of the
units. Thanks to this the projectors can be setup remotely.
The following functions can be managed remotely:
No more need to take a ladder and set all units one by one!
DMX START ADDRESS: The start address can be set remotely from 001 to xxx.
PERSONALITY: The DMX working mode (DMX-chart) can be set remotely.
These 2 functions make it possible to prepare a complete DMX-patch of all projectors on the DMX-
controller and send these data to all projectors at once. More functions will be added later.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Note: when the projector is switched on the display shows "UPDATE WAIT ..." This message informs you
that IF you want to upgrade the firmware, you should do it while this message is shown on the display. For
normal use you can ignore this message completely.
A. Standalone 1unit:
Just connect the projector to the mains.
Select one of the automatic, sound or static color modes
Refer to chapter HOW TO SETUP to learn how to make the settings.
B. Two or more units in master/slave setup:
Connect the units together. Refer to the chapter "electrical installation" to learn how to do this.
Select one of the automatic, sound or static color modes on the master (the first projector in the DMX
chain)
Set all the other projectors in SLAVE mode
The projectors will now follow the program of the master projector so they all work synchronously.
C. Controlled by a universal DMX-controller:
Connect all units together. Refer to the chapter "Electrical installation for two or more units in DMX-
mode" to learn how to do this (don't forget to address all units properly!)
Connect all units to the mains and turn on the DMX controller.
Since each unit has its own DMX-address, you can control them individually. Remember that each unit
can use a different number DMX-channels, depending on the DMX-mode you have selected in the
menu. See the different DMX charts below:
