as an RDM device, as well as providing the functions of an in-line
controller.
Warning: Except for the IEC chassis plug marked for AC input, all
ports on the DMX Repeater Pro are intended for low voltage data
lines only. The 250 volt fault protection is not intended as primary
personal protection. Attaching anything other than low voltage
sources to the data ports may result in severe equipment damage,
and personal injury or death.

DMX512 – The most widely used protocol for controlling lighting and
effects equipment, DMX512 was the first digital multiplex standard.
The DMX signal is simplex, or 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 version. The DMX Repeater Pro is designed to
work seamlessly with these and all manufacturer-specific variants of
the protocol.
RDM – A recent addition to the DMX512 protocol is ANSI E1.20
RDM (Remote Device Management). A separate optional standard,
it interleaves a get-and-set command structure into the basic DMX
data stream. RDM is a half-duplex, bi-directional protocol that
requires DMX ports to transmit as well as receive. Uses include
remote device addressing and status reporting. The DMX Repeater
Pro supports RDM on all ports.
