SHoW DMX Neo Operation
SHoW DMX Neo is a wireless DMX512/RDM distribution system that uses 2.4GHz Frequency
Hopping Spread Spectrum (FHSS) radio frequency technology to wirelessly transmit DMX data
to, and RDM data to and from, DMX / RDM devices.
FHSS radio broadcasts utilize many discrete radio channels in the selected frequency band by
hopping rapidly from channel to channel in a pseudo-random pattern that is synchronized
between the transmitter and receiver. This makes a robust broadcast that has reduced
sensitivity to interference and has a degree of inherent encryption.
DMX System Flow
DMX 512 control data from any standard DMX 512 console is output to the SHoW DMX
transmitter, which converts that DMX data to a radio signal and broadcasts it to the SHoW DMX
receiver (or receivers). The SHoW DMX receiver takes the radio broadcast and converts it back
into standard DMX 512 data, which can then be connected via standard cables to DMX devices
such as moving lights, effects, etc.
