RDS 8 – FireOne Flames DMX Splitter
The FireOne Flames DMX Splitter is a customized RDS 8 ENTTEC product. The end result makes the
contents of the scl file distributed by the USB DMX Pro flow smoothly along the FireOne Flames
projectors.
Features
• A total of 512 channels can be transmitted from controller out to the FireOne Flame Projectors.
• One input and 8 outputs.
• Two buttons to select different features.
Suggested operation
It is suggested that the FireOne DMX Splitter is operated using the following setup:
BYPASS button - IN
RDM FILTER button - OUT
Such operation helps the data to flow smoothly and activates a microprocessor inside the DMX Splitter
itself whose main aim is to handle such information smoothly.
An LED Display on the Splitter itself indicates the operational status.
SYSTEM OK: LED Flashes twice per second (2Hz) when the unit is healthy and not bypassed.
DMX: LED flashes at 8Hz each time a DMX packet is received, and not bypassed.
When using the above-suggested setup, the RDM LED should NOT blink because no such messages will
reach the FireOne Flame Projectors.
Power Supply
The RDS8 has an autoswitching power supply so that the mains can be anything from 96 to 240 volts,
with 50-60Hz AC. Connection to power turns the unit on. There is no power switch to be toggled.
DMX USB Pro
• The DMX USB Pro has an internal frame buffering that makes it possible to work with any
computer.
• It talks at any comm’s speed, compatible with any system for which the FTDI chip used has
drivers.
• Configurable Refresh Rate.
• Upgradable firmware.
• Requires no power source. It gets its power directly from the USB port of the computer itself.
