The Vision RDM Protocol is completely based on the RDM Protocol (ANSI E1.20 – 2010). The only difference is the transport layer. The Vision RDM is send and received via the SPI Communication.

The RDM Protocol (ANSI E1.20 – 2010, Entertainment Technology-RDM Remote Device Management Over DMX512 Networks), widely recognized and extensively adopted within the industry for DMX-enabled lighting fixtures, serves as our chosen method for fixture communication. This approach ensures the compatibility and utilization of previously developed libraries, minimizing the necessity for new development.

So Vision is based on standard DMX and RDM concepts. If your fixture already supports wired DMX and RDM, reuse the same DMX handling and the same RDM implementation as much as possible. Vision does not require a separate second RDM stack. Only App Control uses defined fixed DMX behavior so the app can control all fixtures of the same type consistently.

If you do not support RDM, do not hesitate and use our library. This library is found in the next section RDM Vision Library. If you have your own, you can skip this section.
