Transmitter back to the default Hopping pattern (1) and Bandwidth (Full) settings.
About SHoW ID
: Once the transmitter’s hopping pattern and bandwidth are
configured, the Transmitter will calculate and display a unique
SHoW ID
. Set the
receiver to that same SHoW ID to configure it to respond to that Transmitter.
Hop Pattern:
Select one of 16 hopping patterns. Each hopping pattern is unique
and will configure the broadcast so that only receivers with the same hopping
pattern will sync up with that Transmitter and receive the DMX broadcast.
Power:
Select the desired transmit power setting. For the 5600 (North
American) the available power settings are 5mW, 10mW, 50mW, 100mW, or
125mW FCC. For the 5601, the power settings are 5mW, 10mW, 50mW or
100mW ETSI.
