Introduction
City Theatrical’s 5912 Multiverse® Transmitter opens a new world in wireless DMX/RDM. Its
Ethernet input allows it to take in streaming ACN (sACN) or Art-Net and to transmit as many as
eight user selectable universes of DMX/RDM in the 900MHz band while using only a fraction of
the radio energy of any present day single universe wireless DMX transmitter.
The Multiverse Transmitter has a Bluetooth radio receiver built in that allows it to communicate
with City Theatrical’s multi award winning DMXcat® app from the user’s smartphone. This gives
the user smartphone control of any lighting fixture that is part of the Multiverse setup, whether it is
a lighting fixture with a Multiverse Module inside, a lighting fixture receiving its data from a
Multiverse Node, or any wired fixture downstream of those devices.
The Multiverse Transmitter is Wi-Fi enabled, allowing for communication and control from tablet-
based Wi-Fi lighting controllers like Luminair.
5912 Multiverse Transmitter Overview of Features
•
More DMX Data, Less Radio Energy
Broadcast up to eight universes of DMX data while using less radio energy than other
single universe wireless DMX transmitters.
•
Simultaneous Dual Radio Transmission
Broadcast simultaneously on two radios in the 900MHz band.
•
Auto Dynamic Limited Burst
Multiverse can automatically sense which DMX slots are not in the patch and will not
broadcast them, thereby reducing unneeded radio energy.
•
mDMX
mDMX is a form of DMX optimized for wireless broadcast that dramatically reduces
data being broadcast, thereby reducing unneeded radio energy.
•
mRDM
Multiverse is able to broadcast RDM information without disrupting the DMX
broadcast. This feature is not available even in wired RDM systems.
•
SHoW Key Security
SHoW Key is an additional three-digit code that can be added to the Multiverse SHoW
ID that will prevent any other system set on the same SHoW ID from interfering with
your system.
•
Lock PIN
When using a smartphone with the DMXcat app, a four-digit PIN can be applied to the
Multiverse Transmitter to assure only authorized users can access it.
•
Forward Error Correction
Allows the Receiver to detect and correct errors that may occur in the wireless
transmission of data.
•
Ultra Low Latency
Total average system latency of 4ms.
