Introduction 

 
The Multiverse

®

 Vero Transceiver 2.4GHz brings the advanced features of the Multiverse wireless 

DMX/RDM system to outdoor installations for architecture and entertainment. The 7400-5903 
Multiverse Vero Transceiver 2.4GHz contains a 2.4GHz radio for worldwide use. 
 
The Multiverse Vero Transceiver is housed in a NEMA 4 / IP66 package that provides protection 
from the outdoor elements. Its internal backlit LCD display simplifies setup and gives feedback on 
system performance. Each unit comes with a dual band 2.5dBi Outdoor Omni-directional 
Antenna. 
 
 

7400-5903 Multiverse Vero Transceiver Features 

 

 

2.4GHz Radio 

Transmit and receive on the 2.4GHz band for worldwide use. 

 

 

mDMX  

mDMX is a form of DMX optimized for wireless broadcast that dramatically reduces 
data being broadcast, thereby reducing unneeded radio energy. 

 

 

mRDM  

Multiverse is able to broadcast RDM information without disrupting the DMX 
broadcast.   This feature is not available even in wired RDM systems.   

 

 

SHoW Key Security  

SHoW Key is an optional three-digit code that can be added to the Multiverse SHoW 
ID that will prevent any other system set on the same SHoW ID from interfering with 
your system. 

 

 

Forward Error Correction  

Allows the Receiver to detect and correct errors that may occur in the wireless 
transmission of data. 
 

 

Ultra Low Latency 

Total average system latency of 4ms. 
 

 

Adaptive Spread Spectrum Frequency Hopping  

Adaptive Spread Spectrum Frequency Hopping identifies and masks off hopping 
channels that contain interference, replacing them in the hop sequence with alternate 
channels. 
 

 

Adjustable Output Power 

Sometimes an application calls for the most available broadcast power, but many 
entertainment systems can utilize lower output power to reduce detrimental effects on 
other radio systems in the venue, reduce reflections, and improve performance.   

 

 

User Selectable SHoW IDs 

City Theatrical has always produced wireless DMX products that allowed the user to 
select the optimum transmission method. Users may select full bandwidth hopping, 
hopping limited to a section of the spectrum (including areas of the spectrum outside of 
the Wi-Fi range), or adaptive hopping.
