In a multi-universe system utilizing a Multiverse Transmitter or Multiverse Gateway as a
transmitter, once you have selected the universes that you want to broadcast from the incoming
Ethernet data, assigned SHoW IDs to your two radios, and have assigned universes to those
SHoW IDs, you will need to set each Multiverse Node to match the same universe number and
SHoW ID that it will be receiving.
Let’s take a closer look at the SHoW ID numbering system:

2.4GHz
Faster data rates provide more
DMX universes. Slower data
rates travel longer distances and
provide more immunity to
interference.

00’ Outdoor

Specifies which sections
of the wireless band the
frequency hopping
utilizes.
0
Use full range of
2.4GHz band.
1
Use only low band
channels.
2
Use only mid band
channels (available for
Data Rate 1 only).
3
Use only high band
channels.
4
Use only extreme high
band to avoid WiFi
(2.4GHz only.
5
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
When the Multiverse Node 2.4GHz is configured as a receiver in a system where there is a multi-
universe transmitter (Multiverse Transmitter or Multiverse Gateway) you can select the universe
the Multiverse Node 2.4GHz will receive and output on its DMX output port. The selected universe
must match a valid universe being transmitted.
Note: Any Multiverse Node acting as a receiver that is set on a universe that Is not being
broadcast by a Multiverse transmitter (either a Transmitter or Node) will show its universe in a
yellow color.
