Remote Device Management (RDM)
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 MK2 Profile supports RDM
protocol that allows feedback to make changes to menu map options.
Signal Connection
The Maverick MK2 Profile can receive DMX, WDMX, Art-Net™, or sACN. The Maverick MK2 Profile has
two Amphenol XLRnet through ports, and 3- and 5-pin DMX in and out ports.

Art-Net™ Connection
Art-Net™ is an Ethernet protocol that uses TCP/IP, which transfers a large amount of DMX512 data using
an Amphenol XLRnet RJ45 connection over a large network. An Art-Net™ protocol document is available
from www.chauvetprofessional.com.
Art-Net™ designed by and copyright Artistic Licence Holdings Ltd.
sACN Connection
Streaming ACN, also known as ANSI E1.31, is an Ethernet protocol that uses the layering and formatting
of Architecture for Control Networks to transport DMX512 data over IP or any other ACN-compatible
network. ACN is maintained by the Professional Lighting and Sound Association (PLASA).
