SyncroSplit - DMX RDM Booster / Splitter 4x

The DMX RDM splitter consists of a DMX IN data input, one DMX THRU output and four electrically high isolated
DMX OUT data outputs. Since all outputs have individual electrical isolation, if a defective fixture were to be
added this would not affect any other output.

The SyncroSplit is fully DMX RDM compatible and integrates itself perfectly into the syncronorm hardware
product range. SyncroSplit communicates bidirectionally and supports E1-20 and E1-37 DMX RDM standards.
Multiple SyncroSplit units can be used in parallel to provide more outputs. Using individual branch discovery,
only devices connected to one output are discovered simultaneously. This reduces the number of logical devices
per discovery run, lowering signal noise and speeding up the total discovery process.
