Multiverse® SHoW Baby®
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.
City Theatrical’s Multiverse® SHoW Baby® is a wireless DMX transceiver that delivers breakthrough plug and play wireless DMX and RDM transmission. In its default mode, it works like any other SHoW Baby 6 Transceiver, with six user selectable SHoW IDs. By connecting an RDM controller, like DMXcat® Multi Function Test Tool, all of the revolutionary new 2.4GHz Multiverse SHoW IDs are accessible.
Right out of the box, Multiverse SHoW Baby is fully compatible with all legacy SHoW DMX SHoW Baby® systems. Use it to build new single universe Multiverse systems, or use Multiverse SHoW Baby as a receiver on multiple universe systems with a Multiverse Transmitter.

| Multiverse SHoW Baby at Kinky Boots at The Broward Center for the Performing Arts in Fort Lauderdale, Florida | The Broward Center for the Performing Arts presents more than 700 performances each year to more than 700,000 patrons. For Kinky Boots at the Broward Center, there are an extensive number of moving lights, LED tape, and practicals throughout the Kinky Boots set, which was rented through Kinky Boots LLC out of New York City for use on the Fort Lauderdale show, such that we needed wireless DMX to be configured and set up to work flawlessly with the lighting system. We had moving lights set up on the balcony, in the air, and lots of battery-operated lights on the scenery. Having the Multiverse SHoW Baby units work with only a little bit of configuring helped us save time and efforts and made the load in and configuration a lot easier than it could have been. | |
| Multiverse SHoW Baby at Balmoral Events Center in Haines City, Florida | City Theatrical’s Multiverse SHoW Baby transceivers were used as the wireless DMX solution for the lighting at the new Balmoral Event Center. The technical team from Barbizon Southeast was able to use six Multiverse SHoW Baby units as DMX receivers - one for each wall (four) and one for each tower (two) - and one as a transmitter, which was set up in a closet with the other lighting controllers, to provide wireless DMX control for light fixtures. | |
| Multiverse SHoW Baby at Buddy: The Buddy Holly Story national tour | Buddy – The Buddy Holly Story tells the true story of Buddy Holly’s meteoric rise to fame. This case study shows why wireless DMX important for Buddy - The Buddy Holly Story national tour as a three-month tour traveling from roadhouse to roadhouse, which often had load ins done during the morning and load outs done after the evening show. Multiverse SHoW Baby wireless DMX helped ease of setup, and the use of wireless DMX was appealing to quickly control our moving light fixtures, Star Drops, and practicals on set. Multiverse SHoW Baby wireless DMX made it easy to set up the lighting at each venue and saved us a lot of time on the road. | |
| Multiverse SHoW Baby for Places of Worship |
“I would recommend Multiverse SHoW Baby for other places of worship projects like this. We chose Multiverse wireless DMX because we were confident it wouldn’t affect the wireless mics used during the services. It also came down to ease of use and cost savings.” - Clarence Golden, Sales Associate, MAGNUM Companies Multiverse SHoW Baby® was recently installed and is currently being used to provide wireless DMX control for worship services at Church International in Norcross, Georgia. After the successful installation in February 2021 in Georgia, Project Lead Clarence Golden from Atlanta-based MAGNUM Companies, along with Set Designer Benjamin Brown, took their same four-unit Multiverse SHoW Baby wireless DMX solution to Mount Pleasant Baptist Church in Kansas City, Missouri in March 2022. In both locations they were able to provide an easy to use, reliable wireless DMX solution using Multiverse SHoW Baby, with no mic interference and seamless control for flicker free dimming for livestream cameras. |

Theatre educators in need of new lighting equipment know that every dollar spent for their school counts. “You have to make sure that the patrons of the community are happy with the investment, because it’s mostly their money that’s paying for it,” says Tony Travis of Toucan Productions in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. Travis sought to outfit three separate high school performance spaces for the Mid-Del School District — on a budget that would only cover one. Find out how he used ETC's ColorSource fixtures with onboard Multiverse wireless DMX/RDM technology as the quality solution that fit his school's budget in this ETC case study. |
