How should I best implement a dimmer? - E1.20 RDM (Remote Device Management) Protocol Forums

Hi Eric,

This leads me to the next question: Do all subdevices also have to support the minimum mandatory PIDs?

Because of various constraints (front panel etc etc), this unit can only ever have consequetive dmx slots ie 1 single DMX start address.
I would have to go with te "unusual configuration" then?

Unless of course there is still a completely different way of doing all this without sub-devices?

Could the root have DMX_PERSONALITY settings for all the channels and modes as well?

I am worried when you mentioned that some controllers will not handle this.
I can just see the support calls srteaming in

Kind regards
Bernt
