SATURN 8R

The RDM standard is an improved protocol for USITT DMX512 that allows bidirectional communication between consoles and RDM-compatible devices over a standard DMX line, enabling configuration, status monitoring, and management.
To use RDM, an RDM-enabled DMX controller and RDM-compatible accessories are required.
If DMX splitters are used, these must also be RDM-enabled and compatible. For this reason, the Saturn 8R from Triton-Blue is the solution for such scenarios.

Features

• DMX signal amplifier and splitter

• Weight: 2.5 kg

Practical Solution with LED Indicators

• When the unit is powered on, the LED indicators light up in red.
• When DMX signal is present, the green LED indicators light up.
• When RDM signal is present, the blue LED indicators flash.

Package Contents

• 1 Saturn 8R DMX/RDM splitter
• 1 PowerCon to Schuko power cable (1.5 m)
• 1 User manual

About the RDM Function

• Remote Device Management (RDM) is an enhancement of the DMX512 lighting protocol developed by USITT that allows bidirectional communication between lighting consoles and RDM-compatible devices over a standard DMX line.
• Key Points:
• Bidirectional Communication: RDM allows lighting devices and DMX controllers to communicate in both directions, enabling devices to send information back to the lighting console.
• Configuration and Control: RDM makes it possible to configure, control, and manage lighting devices remotely, simplifying setup and maintenance.
• Compatibility Required: Both the DMX controller and lighting accessories must be RDM-compatible and adhere to RDM standards.
• In summary, RDM enhances lighting control efficiency and system management by enabling bidirectional communication and control of devices over a standard DMX line.
