Setting up Multiverse Nodes as Receivers
Now set up your Multiverse Nodes as your receivers. Set the user interface screen on each Node
to match the Multiverse Transmitter’s corresponding SHoW ID (and SHoW Key if used) and
universe. Do this for each Node in your system. Note: Any Multiverse Node acting as a receiver
that is set on a universe that Is not being broadcast by a Multiverse transmitter (either a
Transmitter or Node) will show its universe in a yellow color.
When your Transmitter and Nodes are in communication, the signal quality bars on the Node will
be lit. When DMX is fed to the Transmitter, the RX symbol on the top left of the node will stop
blinking, and any properly addressed DMX devices attached to the Node will be controllable from
your lighting controller or by DMX and RDM from your DMXcat.
Looking At Your Show with DMXcat
During and after setup, you can use your DMXcat to connect to the Multiverse Transmitter for
changing addresses, troubleshooting, focusing, or other lighting tasks. Here are some things you
can learn from the main screen:
This shows the total number of devices (receivers and lighting
fixtures) attached to the Transmitter’s two radios.
“Device Count” shows the total number of receivers and lighting
fixtures on each radio’s universe assignment.
Tapping on the horizontal arrow will take you to the underlying
receiver(s), which looks like the image on the next page.
