The RCF RDNet Control 8 8-Channel RDNet Control System from DJDeals.com is a real-time monitor and control system able to manage up to 256 devices linked in a bus or up to 128 devices in a ring topology.
All the data collected from the slaves are delivered to the sound engineer by USB in a local installation or by Ethernet from remote locations. The interface can be directly connected to the DSP on board of every TT+ line array module through the exclusive RDNet protocol making it possible to address in single cabinets or groups, specific presets or modification parameters in real-time. The key point of RDNet Control 8, in fact, is to ensure minimum refresh time (at least 5 per second) of all the system data performance, for example RMS signals, compressor activity, temperature, fans speed, warnings, etc. Data transfer can be routed also through the provided xlr connectors enabling the control of the system on traditional multi-cored cables.
