Personality Descriptions
RDM Splitter: A one-in/eight-out opto-splitter with RDM functionality
enabled on all ports. This is the factory default personality.
RDM can be disabled on a port-by-port basis to accommodate some
older equipment that may misinterpret RDM requests as DMX level
changes. See “Port Customization Options”.
DMX Merger: A one-in/eight-out or two-in/seven out merger/opto-
splitter with RDM disabled on all ports.
While in this personality, the Repeater Pro scans ports A through H
for active DMX. If found, the second DMX source will be merged with
the primary “DMX IN” signal on a highest-takes-precedence basis.
Also see “More on DMX Merger Mode”.
RDM discovery and commands will not work on ports that are
merging DMX due to timing constraints in the RDM protocol.
DMX Hub: A nine-in/eight-out switcher. The DMX Repeater Pro
scans each port in turn (including the primary input port “DMX IN”)
until a DMX source is found. It then reconfigures all other ports
(except the primary input port) as outputs and routes the DMX signal
