CTI's president, Gary Fails commented, "Our testing has allowed us to confirm for the first time what the data fidelity levels are in a very saturated radio environment. In a range of tests at a distance of over 700'/213m at optimum power output settings, the maximum packet loss was in the low 20% range with many universes showing packet loss in the 10% range.
"Packet loss in the low 20% range has a minimal effect on performance of moving lights, although it may be occasionally noticeable. You may not ever operate 16 full universes of SHoW DMX, but our testing proves you can, and of course if you operate less than 16 universes your data fidelity will be even better."
