It is recommended that users perform a site survey
using City Theatrical’s RadioScan™
Spectrum Analyzer before choosing a SHoW ID, to insure optimum radio performance.
Use the default SHoW ID, or choose a SHoW ID and enter that SHoW ID into the user
interface of your Multiverse transmitter (Multiverse SHoW Baby, Multiverse Node, or
Multiverse Transmitter) and all receivers.
The SHoW ID and universe number (and SHoW
Key, if used) must match on your transmitter and all receivers.
Multiverse Studio is backwards compatible with SHoW DMX Neo products when using SHoW
DMX Neo SHoW IDs. See
Table 6
on page 12 for a list of SHoW DMX Neo SHoW IDs.
Here is further explanation of the Multiverse SHoW ID numbering system:

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
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
Default universe is 1.
When the Multiverse Studio Receiver is a receiver in a multi universe system with a Multiverse
Transmitter you can select the universe the Multiverse Studio Receiver will receive and output.
The selected universe must match a valid universe being transmitted.
Note: If universe selected is not being broadcast by the transmitter, the universe number will
be shown in a color opposite of the background color on the user interface to alert you to the
incorrect selection.
