 **RDM** is Remote Device Management. Horizons doesn't currently support this but some splitters, controllers, testers, and more do. This lets you change fixture settings, read sensor data, and more remotely. It will send a packet or two back to the controller in the space between DMX packets.  **RDM** is Remote Device Management.

-**DMX Loss Behavior** is what a fixture does when it stops receiving DMX packets. Some fixtures will **Hold Last Look* based on the last packet, waiting for a new packet to arrive. Others will **Wait and Fade** at the last packet look for a specific time, before fading the lights out. Other fixtures will just turn off when DMX packets stop flowing. *Check your ConstandDelivery setting in Horizons based on how your fixture handles packet speed/loss.*+**DMX Loss Behavior** is what a fixture does when it stops receiving DMX packets.

 If you set two devices to the same Fixture Mode and Start Address, they will both follow the exact same commands. It won't be possible to change these fixtures independent of each other unless you change their settings. This can be helpful in Horizons if 15 segments of LED tape will all report the alert status. You could set them as the same mode and start address and cover all of them with the same addresses. This is fast, simple, and easy. If you set two devices to the same Fixture Mode and Start Address, they will both follow the exact same commands.
