unidirectional. The standard connector type is 5-pin XLR. Since
its inception in 1986, there have been two revisions: USITT
DMX512/1990 and the newer ANSI E1.11 DMX512-A (2005)
version. The DMX Repeater Pro is designed to work seamlessly
with these and all manufacturer-specific variants of the protocol.
RDM – A recent (2006) addition to the DMX512 protocol is ANSI
E1.20 RDM (Remote Device Management), a separate, optional
standard intended to enhance the value of DMX by adding
command/query-and-response functionality on top of the basic
DMX streaming-data structure. RDM is a duplex or bi-directional
protocol that requires DMX ports to transmit as well as receive.
Potential features include remote device addressing and status
reporting. The DMX Repeater Pro supports RDM on all ports.

Plug in the power cord to your DMX Repeater Pro. The internal
power supply will automatically sense and accommodate any
voltage/frequency from 100-240VAC and 50/60 Hz. The front
panel liquid-crystal display (LCD) and the keypad will illuminate.
Once boot up is completed, the display will cycle through the
three main status displays.
DMX Status: The first display shows DMX activity and gives the
number of input channels. Some devices transmit less than a full
universe of 512. If there is no DMX present, the display will read
‘DMX Input – Inactive’.
RDM Status: The second display shows RDM activity. In some
modes, the screen will read “RDM Disabled”.
Port Status: The last display shows the port-by-port
customization for handling DMX and RDM information.
For full explanations of the displays, see “Status and Monitoring”.
