Figure 5: SHoW IDs with Maximum Universe Output
Attaching Universes to SHoW IDs
Once you choose a SHoW ID, a series of boxes will be shown in this setup screen. These boxes
represent the number of universes that each radio can carry. Note the screen above shows four
boxes for the 900MHz radio A and four boxes for the 900MHz radio B. By tapping on the
“U” icon
in the box you can edit the universe number and add descriptive names such as Truss 1, or
Electric 3, to help remind you where that universe is broadcasted to in your show. Tapping on the
horizontal arrow will take you to the connected devices.
The box for each universe will show:
•
The SHoW ID of the radio
•
The universe assigned to it
•
The number of devices (total receivers and lighting fixtures) on that universe
connected by that radio’s SHoW ID
•
Any custom label you have given this universe
•
A “
→
” symbol that when tapped will take you to a screen that shows the connected
devices on that universe.
