Description
The DMX STAGE-PROFI 1.1 RDM is a compact Ethernet Interface (DMX via
Ethernet), which can be used for Art-Net™ /TPM2/sACN to DMX/RDM or DMX to Art-
Net™. Via a standard RJ45 net-work connection the connection to ethernet network
occurs.
Switchable DMX Direction
The DMX direction can be switched according to usage.
Settable DMX Frame Rate
In the DMX-OUTPUT mode the DMX frame rate is adjustable, so this interface is
compatible to "slow" DMX devices.
RDM via Art-Net™
Supports RDM via Art-Net™ and thus enables connected RDM devices to be
configured via Art-Net™ using corresponding software.
Muteable LED Display
The LED-Display at the DMX STAGE-PROFI 1.1 RDM is disengageable via Art-
Net™-Command (AcLedMute) or time controlled. This is very helpful to avoid
disturbing “light points” on stage.
DHCP
The DMX STAGE-PROFI 1.1 RDM has a DHCP-Function for automatically
addressing within the net-work.
DMX-Monitor
With the DMX-Monitor all of the 512 DMX output and input channel values are shown
clearly.
DMX-Fader
The DMX-Fader is a helpful and clearly tool which allows to set all 512 DMX
channels via a slide control.
Internal Stand-Alone Programs
The internal programs make the DMX STAGE-PROFI 1.1 RDM a stand-alone device.
Calling up the programs is possible via the web interface as well as by switching on
the device or in case that Art-Net™ data is missing.

DMX STAGE-PROFI 1.1 RDM 4
Easy Configuration
A user friendly configuration via web browser allows a fast and uncomplicated setting
of all parameters. No special software is necessary, a standard web browser is
enough. So, the configuration is possible any time from PC, Smartphone or tablet.
For an easy setting of the IP we provide the IP-Configurator as PC-Tool or Android-
App for free. The net-work settings can be leaved unchanged and the IP can be
configured without any problems.
High quality and Compact Design
The DMX STAGE-PROFI 1.1 RDM is designed with a 3-pin Neutrik-XLR-Connection
metal design and cased in an aluminium housing.
Art-Net™ Merge-Function
Two Art-Net™ sources are output by LTP (Latest) or HTP (Highest) combined to the
DMX output.
Combinable with WiFi components
In combination with a WLAN bridge the DMX STAGE-PROFI 1.1 RDM can also be
integrated into WLAN net-works.
Firmware Update Function
To use future functions, the DMX STAGE-PROFI 1.1 RDM offers a Firmware-
Update-Function. This can be started with any web browser, so no direct access to
the device is necessary!
DMX4ALL Communication-Interface
The DMX STAGE-PROFI 1.1 RDM has an additional communication interface using
the DMX4ALL-Commands via TCP or UDP packages.
