Description
- 16 Fully Isolated DMX Outputs：16 optically isolated DMX outputs grouped into 4 zones ensure clean, stable and noise-free signal distribution for large lighting systems.
- 4×4 Independent Input Architecture：Features four independent DMX input groups (A/B/C/D), each routed to 4 outputs—perfect for multi-universe, multi-zone or redundant lighting setups.
- RDM Compatible for Bi-Directional Controll：Fully compatible with RDM (Remote Device Management), allowing your lighting controller to discover, address and monitor RDM-enabled fixtures through the splitter in professional DMX systems.
- Optical Isolation & Protection：Each input group uses optical isolation and signal buffering to help protect your system from ground loops, interference and data errors over long cable runs or in complex installations.
- Metal Housing with LED Indicators：Rugged metal enclosure with per-port LED signal indicators—ideal for stages, studios, churches, theaters and permanent DMX/RDM installations.
Overview
Q&A
Q1: Will it work with my existing DMX controller and lights?
A1: Yes. As long as your gear uses standard DMX512 with 3-pin XLR connectors, it will work. If your controller has a 5-pin DMX output, you can simply use a 5-pin to 3-pin adapter cable.
Q2: How are the 16 outputs organized?
A2: The 16 outputs are arranged as four 4-way groups (A/B/C/D). Each DMX input group feeds its own four outputs, so you can use it as four 1-to-4 splitters in one 1U unit.
Q3: Do I need to change any settings to use it?
A3: No. The splitter works automatically after you connect the DMX cables. No configuration or switching is required.
Q4: Does this splitter improve DMX signal stability?
A4: Yes. Each output is optically isolated and actively regenerated to reduce noise, interference, and ground loop issues in larger lighting systems, especially over long cable runs.
Q5: Can I mount this unit in a standard 19" rack?
A5: Yes. The RSD8-16C is housed in a durable 1U rack-mountable metal chassis, ready for touring cases, control rooms, or permanent installations.
