RDMASTER
From the first connection
to the final check.
One application to prepare the rig, test fixtures, record streams and understand what is happening on the network.
Test
Work with attributes, recall memories and check how the hardware responds.
Operate
Record, play back and monitor data to repeat your tests and diagnostics.
01 / PREPARE
Your rig, down to the details.
A clear picture of your rig.
ArtPoll, RDM discovery, UIDs, addresses, modes and DMX footprints: bring the information you need into one inventory. Identify a fixture, rename a selection, prepare its addressing and export your inventory as CSV.
Configure the fixture, beyond DMX.
Set the label, start address and personality from the RDM fixture panel. Available parameters depend on the functions reported by each device.
Keep your nodes in view.
Inspect discovered Art-Net interfaces, ports and universes. Access supported node settings to prepare your lighting network distribution.
Put every fixture in its place.
Place fixtures on a working plan, move them with a mouse or touch, then identify a fixture to locate it in the venue.
Recall your configurations.
Prepare RDM setting profiles and apply them to your selection. References and snapshots help compare configurations when bringing a rig back into service.
02 / TEST
Studio feel. DMX precision.
Faders made for hands-on testing.
Intensity, value ranges and MIN, DEF and MAX controls: work with the attributes of your selection in an interface inspired by studio hardware.
Movement at your fingertips.
Control pan and tilt with the XY pad and rotary controls. The fixture profile determines available attributes and resolution.
Patch with the right profile.
Choose the fixture, mode, universe and address. Import GDTF files to extend the library and check the behaviour of each channel.
Repeatable tests.
Run profile macros to test fixture functions. Extend your checks with effects and the burn-in workflow.
Store. Sequence. Recall.
Store tester states, organise memories and prepare transitions. Sequences, follows and timecode cues help you repeat your tests.
Check values channel by channel.
The DMX sheet displays values for the focused fixture. A precise companion to the faders for checking coarse and fine channels and profile functions.
03 / RECORD & REPLAY
Capture a moment. Recall it.
Record what arrives on the network.
Select universes to record, start a capture, then find your takes for playback, import or export. Prepare reusable universe selections.
Your takes, at your fingertips.
Four banks of sixteen pads to organise recalls. Assign a take, customise its pad, adjust playback and trigger your content from the Player.
Build a playlist.
Chain takes, adjust their order, speeds and fades, then save the playlist. Prepare and replay your sequences in one interface.
Give your sequences a time reference.
Generate Art-Net timecode, choose the frame rate and destination, and monitor incoming timecode. Audio LTC output complements the synchronisation tools.
04 / UNDERSTAND
A closer look at your network.
See what is flowing.
Monitor universes and DMX values, compare changes and inspect a channel. OSC and MIDI views complete your control diagnostics.
Real information from the fixture.
Read sensors reported over RDM, their units and values. Temperature, voltage or other measurements: the display follows the capabilities of the fixture.
Check the health of your rig.
Bring together fixture status, firmware information and differences from your references. An overview to help prepare maintenance.
Spot the changes that matter.
Define sensor rules and find alerts in the application. Configure notification integrations to suit your installation.
Prepare recurring checks.
Organise periodic tasks and actions linked to sunrise or sunset. RDMaster must remain running to execute scheduled actions.
Go down to protocol level.
Raw RDM commands and the event log complement the diagnostic tools for users who need to inspect a specific request or response.
05 / WORK
At the desk or out in the venue.
Leave the desk. Keep your interface.
From a tablet or computer browser on the same network, Remote provides the PC interface. The RDMaster server remains the connection point to the lighting network.
A workspace in your colour.
The settings button brings together network adapter selection and interface colour. Adjust Hue Rotate, then restore the original colour with one click.
Prepare the physical rig, too.
Generate QR code labels and a printable installation report to support identification and commissioning.

Before you begin.
What hardware do I need for RDM configuration?
A PC running RDMaster, a lighting network connection and a compatible Art-Net/RDM gateway. Available functions depend on the RDM capabilities of your fixtures and nodes.
Can I test a fixture without RDM?
Yes. The tester supports manual patching with a profile, mode, universe and address. RDM discovery and DMX output are separate functions.
How do I use it on a tablet?
Remote runs in the browser of a device connected to the same network as the PC. RDMaster must remain running on the PC, which communicates with the lighting network.
Do all fixtures expose the same parameters?
No. Sensors, personalities and RDM settings depend on the manufacturer. Tester attributes depend on the selected profile and mode.
Do pads play several takes simultaneously?
Pads recall takes in a shared playback engine. They organise triggers; they are not sixteen simultaneous playback layers.
