About SHoW ID
Choosing and setting a SHoW ID is an important part of the Multiverse system. SHoW ID is a
number that describes the portion of the spectrum on which the broadcast will take place (such as
2.4GHz), the area of that band where the broadcast will be directed (such as full band, low portion
of the band only, high portion of the band only, etc.), and several other factors that influence the
broadcast. Those factors are combined into a number called the SHoW ID. See the SHoW ID
chart on page 10 for a full explanation.
Using A Spectrum Analyzer To Choose A SHoW ID
It is a good practice to utilize a device such as City Theatrical

Spectrum
Analyzer
to analyze the spectrum in the area of the broadcast. RadioScan is a
900MHz and 2.4GHz spectrum analyzer, utilizing a hardware dongle and accompanying software,
that enables you to easily visualize radio energy that is otherwise invisible to you. Using
RadioScan helps you create a broadcast plan that optimizes the available spectrum in your area,
and helps prevent interference with other mission critical radio devices near you.
RadioScan will guide you in creating the optimum broadcast plan for your installation by helping
choose the best SHoW ID.
