Receiver Setup
You will need at least one SHoW DMX SHoW Baby to use as a receiver.
1. Install the SHoW DMX SHoW Baby you will use for a receiver in a convenient location
where you can reach it with a DMX cable to the device (or devices) it will be providing
DMX for. As with the SHoW DMX SHoW Baby transmitter, locate the unit higher in the
air for best results, and try to place your SHoW DMX SHoW Baby receiver where its
antenna will be within line of sight with the transmitter.
2. Install the provided antenna and point it straight up in the air.
3. Connect the provided 12VDC Power Supply to the unit, and connect to mains power.
The SHoW DMX SHoW Baby will be configured as a receiver and the Rx LED will light.
4. Connect a DMX cable from the SHoW DMX SHoW Baby DMX OUT to the first DMX
device you want to provide DMX to. You can then continue to add up to 32 more DMX
devices to the chain as with any DMX data stream, and like any other DMX system, be
sure the last connected device is properly terminated.
5. As soon as you begin broadcasting from the SHoW DMX SHoW Baby set up as your
transmitter, the data will be received by the SHoW DMX SHoW Baby(s) set up as
receiver(s) and the transmitted DMX will be output from the receiver unit’s DMX OUT.
The received signal strength will be displayed on the four
LO – RF Signal – HI LEDs.
This four LED “meter” will light to show you your signal strength; a good wireless signal
is three or more LEDs, and weaker signal is two or less.
You can set up any number of additional SHoW DMX SHoW Baby units as receivers.
Notes on Using RDM
Remember that when RDM is enabled, the system uses ~ 25% of its available DMX bandwidth
for RDM so DMX fidelity and refresh rate are reduced. For best DMX fidelity, disable RDM
traffic from the Receivers back to the Transmitting unit when you are not using RDM.
You can use RDM to change SHoW IDs in connected devices. Remember that once you have
changed the SHoW ID in a connected Receiver, you will lose communication with that Receiver
until you change your Transmitter to the matching SHoW ID.
The SHoW DMX SHoW Baby is fully enabled as an RDM proxy system, so you can use RDM to
manage your SHoW DMX system and any connected RDM responders that are downstream of
the system.
