Introduction
Thank you for selecting City Theatrical’s SHoW DMX System! The SHoW DMX System
is an advanced 2.4Ghz Frequency Hopping Spread Spectrum (FHSS) wireless DMX and
RDM distribution and low voltage lighting control system.
SHoW DMX is intended to provide superior broadcast reliability and fidelity while offering
a range of power and frequency hopping configurations designed to enhance system
compatibility with other types of 2.4Ghz systems that may be negatively affected by
conventional 2.4Ghz FHSS systems.
In other words, SHoW DMX is meant to be a powerful and high fidelity but “low impact”
wireless system with the best features of FHSS. Many of these “low impact” and
improved fidelity features are patent pending.
This manual is intended to provide the OEM user and installer with all the information
needed to install and configure the SHoW DMX OEM Receiver. For detailed operating
and application information for the rest of the SHoW DMX System, please also refer to
the SHoW DMX System User’s Manual.
The SHoW DMX System incorporates a number of new broadcast features to enhance
radio data delivery and fidelity, including high speed broadcast data rate with optimized
data format, DMX synchronized hopping, adjustable output power, full bandwidth
hopping, and limited bandwidth hopping. Each of these features is discussed in detail in
the SHoW DMX System User’s Manual.
Every effort has been made to anticipate your questions in this manual, but if you have
any questions that are not answered here, or you want to discuss a special application,
