If you do not have RadioScan, devices like smartphones often have simple Wi-Fi visualizers 
which can help guide you to a more open area of the 2.4GHz spectrum. 
 

Choosing a SHoW ID 

In a single universe system with a Multiverse Vero Transceiver used as a transmitter and one or 
more Multiverse Vero Transceivers used as receivers, simply choose a SHoW ID and enter that 
SHoW ID into the user interface of the transmitter and all receivers. The universe number must 
match on transmitter and all receivers.  
 
Here is a closer look at the SHoW ID numbering system:

Faster data rates provide more 
DMX universes. Slower data 
rates travel longer distances and 
provide more immunity to 
interference.

Specifies which sections 
of the wireless band the 
frequency hopping 
utilizes. 

Use full range of 
900MHz or 2.4GHz 
band. 

Use only low band 
channels. 

Use only mid band 
channels (available for 
Data Rate 1 only). 

Use only high band 
channels. 

Use only extreme high 
band to avoid WiFi 
(2.4GHz only.  

Adaptive hopping. 
Avoids busy channels 
by analyzing 
spectrum. 

If multiple wireless 
systems need to operate 
with the same data rate 
and band this value will 
change the hopping 
pattern to minimize 
overlapping between the 
two systems. Can be any 
number from 0 

– 9 (not all 

bands have all Hop 
Patterns). 

Note: Not all combinations of digits are possible and unused numbers are reserved for future use. 

 
Universe 

Multiple universe systems can be created by adding additional Multiverse Vero units as single 
universe transmitters.  Separate universe numbers must be used for each additional group of 
transmitters and receivers. Any Multiverse Vero acting as a receiver that is set on a universe that 
Is not being broadcast by a Multiverse Vero acting as a transmitter will show its universe in a 
yellow color.
