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.
0
Use full range of
900MHz or 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.
Note: SHoW ID, SHoW Key (if used) and Universe must match between Transmitter and Receiver Cards.
