Multiverse marks the fifth generation of City Theatrical's engineering development for wireless DMX technology. The Multiverse system can deliver more data while reducing the amount of radio energy required for wireless DMX by as much as 90%, enabling scalability never possible before. Every product in the Multiverse system is built around a tiny radio, the Multiverse Module, which can carry up to five universes of data, depending on the frequency used.
Due to their low cost, increased data transport, and ease of design integration, the Multiverse Module marks the first time that the implementation of a wireless DMX chip in every DMX device is possible.
The Multiverse SHoW Baby is the fourth generation of the original plug and play wireless DMX transceiver system by City Theatrical. With tens of thousands of units sold since their introduction in 2011, SHoW Baby plug and play transceivers set the standard for ease of use and reliability at an affordable price point. The addition of Multiverse radio technology enhances the performance even more, as a wireless DMX transceiver that delivers breakthrough plug and play wireless DMX and RDM transmission. Users can add to their existing SHoW DMX SHoW Baby systems, build new single universe Multiverse systems, or use Multiverse SHoW Baby as a receiver on multiple universe systems with a Multiverse Transmitter.
The Multiverse Node offers single universe plug and play simplicity as a transceiver. As a single universe transmitter, it functions in a similar plug and play manner to the SHoW DMX SHoW Baby but contains a full user interface, with four buttons and a backlit LED display. As a receiver, the Multiverse Node is the primary single universe standalone receiver in the Multiverse system and can be part of a larger multi-universe setup.
The Multiverse Transmitter delivers multiple universe control that opens a new world in wireless DMX/RDM. Its Ethernet input allows it to take in Streaming ACN (sACN) or Art-Net and to transmit 10 user-selectable universes of DMX/RDM with the ability to use less radio energy than a present-day single universe wireless DMX transmitter.
The Multiverse Gateway is a transceiver that works with up to eight wired plus 10 wireless universes of wireless DMX data, providing the fullest use of the Multiverse system. Like the Multiverse Transmitter, the Multiverse Gateway utilises four radios (Bluetooth and Wi-Fi for inputs, and 2.4GHz for wireless DMX/RDM output) and accepts Streaming ACN or Art-Net input. The user can choose which of the between eight and 10 universes they would like to broadcast wirelessly, depending on the type of Multiverse Gateway product used, and can choose another eight universes to output locally as wired DMX/RDM.
City Theatrical has partnered with Pathway Connectivity and is the exclusive distributor for Pathway products in the UK and Europe. Pathway products extend the functionality of DMX control, and have created lighting networks with open system products that harness the power and convenience of Ethernet to create spectacular visual experiences for live audiences worldwide. Products available include: Cognito2 Lighting Control Console, Choreo Lighting Controller, Vignette, Pathport Octo, DMX Repeater, eDIN System Enclosures, and more.
DMXcat makes it easy for anyone to control, analyse, or test any DMX lighting fixture, whether it’s a simple LED PAR or a complex moving light, including QolorFLEX products. DMXcat consists of a small hardware dongle and a suite of mobile applications that bring wireless DMX and RDM control plus several other useful functions to the user’s smartphone.
The QolorFLEX LED Tape line includes 40 plus high-quality tape options that help designers put light in places that were once thought impossible and create lighting fixtures and effects in a new and inexpensive way.
QolorFLEX NuNeon is a flexible and bright sealed LED linear lighting product that can be used to replace traditional neon lighting.
QolorPIX plug and play pixel control products make it easy to create thousands of professional dynamic lighting effects - chases, fades, scrolls, bursts, and more - in minutes.
