RDM Settings 

The Multiverse Studio Receiver can be configured remotely with a compatible RDM controller, 
such as DMXcat®. All of the settings available through the menu can be set via RDM. Aside from 
settings, you can also view the Device Model, Manufacturer, Firmware Versions, RDM UID, RF 
Signal Quality, RF Signal Strength, and Battery Charge %. You can also give each device a 
unique RDM Device Label to help with identification for configuration and troubleshooting. 

 

Updating Firmware 

Firmware updates and instructions for performing them are available on the product pages of the
