Remote Device Management
Remote Device Management, or RDM, is a standard for allowing DMX-enabled devices to communicate
bi-directionally along existing DMX cabling. Check the DMX controller's User Manual or with the
manufacturer, as not all DMX controllers have this capability. The Maverick MK1 Spot supports RDM
protocol that allows feedback to make changes to menu map options.
