Remote Device Management (RDM)

Take full control of your RDM-enabled fixtures

Take full control of your RDM-enabled fixtures directly from DMXDesktop, eliminating the need for manual configuration! With our powerful Remote Device Management (RDM) tools, you can remotely set the start address and personality of your fixtures, ensuring a streamlined and efficient setup.

Effortless Fixture Addressing

Manually setting start addresses for each fixture can be time-consuming and frustrating. With Auto Address, DMXDesktop will automatically assign start addresses to all RDM-enabled fixtures in your universe, ensuring they fit within the available address space. If there isn't enough room, you'll be alerted so you can adjust accordingly.

Key Features of RDM in DMXDesktop

  • Remotely Set Start Addresses – No need to physically access each fixture. Assign addresses directly from the app.
  • Adjust Fixture Personalities – Change fixture modes remotely for different DMX channel configurations.
  • Auto Addressing – Automatically assign optimal start addresses to all RDM fixtures in your universe.
  • Real-Time Feedback – Instantly see which fixtures are responding and any conflicts that may need resolving.
