Begin your thought process of creating a broadcast plan by deciding how many universes need to be
transmitted. SHoW IDs that carry fewer universes travel longer distances and often have more perfect
fidelity than SHoW IDs that carry more universes. A good rule of thumb is to choose SHoW IDs with
lower universe capacity whenever possible, and spread out your broadcast over more than one radio
when possible, such as splitting your broadcast between the 2.4GHz and 900MHz radios on a 5910
Multiverse Transmitter.
The most challenging shows for wireless DMX often involve direct view LED pixel chases and they
require careful planning and the use of SHoW IDs that carry a low universe count for perfect
operation. Nearly any other combination of equipment including moving lights, LED fixtures, and
conventional dimmers will operate well on SHoW IDs that can carry multiple universes.
If longer distance broadcasts or direct view LED pixel chases of more universes are needed (such as
nine or 10 universe broadcasts from one 5910 or 5911 Multiverse Transmitter), performance can often
be improved by the use of a specialized antenna such as a panel or Yagi.
