Foreword

1.1

Safety Notice

This product is designed for use in dry locations only. Exposure to rain or moisture may

cause damage to the transceiver and increase risk of electrical shock.

Check all external wiring before applying power.

Introduction

While Multiverse Modules are circuit board mounted devices used by professional lighting

manufacturers, City Theatrical’s Multiverse Receiver Card, 900MHz (P/N 5907, licensed for use

in North America) can be used by anyone to implement wireless DMX/RDM into their projects or

equipment in a simple way. 5907 Multiverse Receiver Cards are full Multiverse receivers for the

900MHz band (P/N 5906 is for the 2.4GHz band) without the housing, XLR connectors, and user

interface as used in wireless DMX receiving products like Multiverse Node and Multiverse SHoW

Baby. Multiverse Receiver Cards include an internal antenna and a U.FL connection to an

optional external antenna. Configuration is done via City Theatrical’s USB Configuration program

for PC/MAC. This product is designed and built in the USA by City Theatrical.

5907 Multiverse Receiver Card, 900MHz

Configuration for Wireless DMX (Basic Mode)

Basic Mode will describe wireless DMX reception with wired DMX output. In its simplest form,

the receiver card receives multiverse wireless DMX/RDM and outputs DMX/RDM as a

differential pair on pins 11 thru 13 of the interface connector. For Advanced Mode (see page

11), users can optionally turn on a 0-10V output and/or PWM outputs and set starting DMX

addresses for them. In all cases, the user interface presented is the same.

The Multiverse receiver card can be configured with RDM through a Multiverse Transmitter,

Multiverse Node, or Multiverse SHoW Baby, or with the USB connector using the free City

Theatrical USB Configurator program. All settings can be changed via the USB connection.

RDM settings are only appropriate to what an end user will need to adjust. Feature settings

are set by the integrator via the USB connector only.

An easy way to apply power to the Multiverse Receiver Card for configuration (before any

connections are wired to the card) is through the USB Micro-B connection.

4.1 Configuring Using RDM

To configure using RDM such as with a City Theatrical DMXcat®, a City Theatrical Multiverse

Transmitter, Multiverse Node, or Multiverse SHoW Baby must be used to broadcast to your

Multiverse Receiver card, and RDM configuration is performed through the Transmitter with

the Multiverse Receiver Card as a connected wireless device. See Resetting Factory Defaults

below.

4.2 Configuring Using City Theatrical USB Configurator for PC/Mac

When connecting the USB Micro-B connector to a PC or MAC, the receiver card will act as a

virtual serial port. Use the City theatrical USB Configurator program, downloadable from the CTI

website, to configure the card. Using the USB Configurator program you can easily set the SHoW

ID, optional SHoW KEY, output power, and make the selection of an external antenna if you are

using one. Other settings not related to basic wireless DMX will be described in the Advanced

Features section of this manual.

4.3 Resetting Factory Defaults

Factory defaults may be manually reset by holding the SHoW ID Selector Switch for five seconds.

The four signal quality lights will flash in unison to show the completion of the reset. Factory

defaults as seen on the City Theatrical USB Configurator program are seen below. These settings

are found on the Basic Info tab and Manufacturer’s Settings tab in RDM.

4.4 Band LED/SHoW ID Selector Switch

The 5907 can receive in 900MHz Multiverse mode (for 2.4GHz Multiverse or SHoW DMX Neo mode,

use P/N 5906). See Table 3 below.

Pressing the SHoW ID Selector Switch button will cycle through five Multiverse SHoW IDs. If you

continue pressing the SHoW ID Selector Switch, you will continue to cycle through the five

Multiverse SHoW IDs.

4.6 Rx Quality LEDs

There are four LEDs in this group that represent the quality of the wireless signal received. All

four LEDs will be lit when the receive quality is at is maximum. Orient the antenna of the device to

produce as many lit LEDs as possible. For best performance, at least two LEDs should be lit.

Note: SHoW ID, SHoW Key (if used) and Universe must match between Transmitter and Receiver Cards.

4.7 SHoW Key

The

SHoW Key setting allows a user to enter a key to privatize their SHoW ID from another

system on the same SHoW ID. SHoW IDs and SHoW Keys need to match in order for

receivers and transmitters to talk to each other. Keeping your SHoW Key private will provide

a level of security to your Multiverse system from un-authorized use. It is not recommended

to use different SHoW Keys in a system that uses multiple Multiverse Nodes as Transmitters

on the same SHoW ID. The range is 0 (Default) to 500.

4.8 Output Power

Output power may be user selected as Low, Med, Hi, or Max. It is a best practice to use the

least amount of output power to achieve a successful show. You can monitor signal quality

on the receiver’s user interface screen LED bargraph, or via RDM. Default is Max. Note:

Output power on a receiver refers to RDM transmission.

4.9 Antenna Selection

This

value sets the onboard Multiverse Radio configuration to optimize for the antenna being

used. In most situations the Multiverse Receiver Card, 900MHz will use the internal antenna.

Only change this value if an external antenna is connected.
