LumenRadio’s new RDMchip shares many attributes with its big brother, LumenRadio’s TiMo, but in an even more compact size. The RDMchip measures just 6mm by 6mm in size. As such, it claims the title as the world’s smallest wireless RDM receiver. By adding a few ancillary components, users get an integrated wireless receiver that can talk both DMX and RDM.

LumenRadio, world leaders in reliable wireless DMX, announces the availability of the RDMchip – the world’s smallest wireless RDM receiver. TiMo just got a baby brother – the RDMchip. RDMchip has all the features of a TiMo RX crammed into a package of just 6×6 mm. Add a few ancillary components and you have a highly integrated wireless receiver that can talk both DMX and RDM.
The RDMchip is a result from close cooperation with some of LumenRadio’s key customers that selected LumenRadio as their preferred technology provider for wireless technology.
LumenRadio’s Sales Director Peter Lindkvist explains: “The RDMchip targets high-volume customers that are ready to commit to having wireless DMX as a standard. There’s obviously some additional work and investment needed when putting the solution directly onto your own PCB, compared to working with a pre-certified module like the TiMo, but from a cost and footprint perspective there are significant advantages for the customer.”
Niclas Norlén, the company’s CTO, elaborates: “With the RDMchip a truly wireless fixture can be made extremely cheap, without even the need for a user interface – instead the users do all the configuration wirelessly with RDM – for instance with our RDM controller SuperNova, or any other RDM controller though our wireless proxies. The RDMchip can even be cheaper than some XLR connectors.”
