Multiverse® Vero Transceiver
City Theatrical's Multiverse® Vero Transceiver brings the advanced features of the Multiverse wireless DMX/RDM system to outdoor installations for architecture and entertainment. The Multiverse Vero Transceiver is housed in a NEMA 4 / IP66 package that provides protection from the outdoor elements. Its internal backlit LCD display simplifies setup and gives feedback on system performance. Each unit comes with a dual band 2.5dBi Outdoor Omni-directional Antenna.
Multiverse Vero Transceiver is available in two types:The Multiverse Vero Transceiver 900MHz/2.4GHz (P/N 7400-5902) contains two radios, 2.4GHz (for worldwide use) and 900MHz (for use in the Americas only), which allows the user to select which radio band to use via the Multiverse SHoW ID.
The Multiverse Vero Transceiver 2.4GHz (P/N 7400-5903) contains a 2.4GHz radio for use worldwide.
Part Number | Name | Usage | ||
7400-5902 | Multiverse Vero Transceiver 900MHz/2.4GHz | North America | ||
7400-5903 | Multiverse Vero Transceiver 2.4GHz | Worldwide |
Multiverse Transceivers are covered by U.S. Patent # 7,432,803 and other patents pending.
900MHz band is licensed for use in North America only.
Additional Information
• Choice Of Broadcast Radio
Transmit and receive on the 2.4GHz or the 900MHz band (P/N 7400-5902).
• mDMX (Multiverse SHoW IDs only)
mDMX is a form of DMX optimized for wireless broadcast that dramatically reduces data being broadcast, thereby reducing unneeded radio energy.
• mRDM (Multiverse SHoW IDs only)
Multiverse is able to broadcast RDM information without disrupting the DMX broadcast. This feature is not available even in wired RDM systems. (Not available on SHoW DMX Neo SHoW IDs.)
• SHoW Key Security (Multiverse SHoW IDs only)
SHoW Key is an additional three-digit code that can be added to the Multiverse SHoW ID that will prevent any other system set on the same SHoW ID from interfering with your system.
• Forward Error Correction (Multiverse SHoW IDs only)
Allows the Receiver to detect and correct errors that may occur in the wireless transmission of data.
• Ultra Low Latency
Total average system latency of 4ms.
• Adaptive Spread Spectrum Frequency Hopping
Adaptive Spread Spectrum Frequency Hopping identifies and masks off hopping channels that contain interference, replacing them in the hop sequence with alternate channels.
• Adjustable Output Power
Sometimes an application calls for the most available broadcast power, but many entertainment systems can utilize lower output power to reduce detrimental effects on other radio systems in the venue, reduce reflections, and improve performance.
• User Selectable SHoW IDs
City Theatrical has always produced wireless DMX products that allowed the user to select the optimum transmission method. Users may select full bandwidth hopping, hopping limited to a section of the spectrum (including areas of the spectrum outside of the Wi-Fi range), or adaptive hopping.
• Protocols supported: ANSI E1.11 DMX512-A; E1.20 RDM
• Built-in Multiverse 2.4GHz (for worldwide use) and 900MHz (for use in the Americas only) Frequency Hopping Spread Spectrum radio
• Compatible with all Multiverse and legacy SHoW DMX Neo products
• User can select a single universe to receive
• Four button user interface screen to set SHoW ID, universe, and other functions
• RDM proxy and responder functions
• DMX In (when used as transmitter) and Out (when used as receiver) via 3 pin Screw Terminal
• Rugged weatherproof aluminum enclosure
• Antenna: Omni Broadband, 900MHz/2.4GHz, 2.5dBi/2.5dBi
• User selectable transmit or receive mode
• Firmware updateable via USB port
• Power input 90-277VAC input, 1A max, on 3 pin screw terminals
• User interface selection of DMX512 termination
• Selectable display timeout and brightness level
• A bracket for surface mounting or mounting from a pipe

Multiverse Vero Transceivers and Yagi Antennas at Philadelphia City Hall |
Starlite's Senior Project Manager Andrew Thompson and his team were looking to illuminate the Philadelphia City Hall facade with a mix of color-changing and carefully selected white light LED fixtures. They required a robust outdoor-rated wireless DMX/RDM solution and a reliable data transmission strategy to broadcast the signal in the bustling City Center District of Philadelphia. Learn how the team used 20 Multiverse® Vero Transceivers and long range Yagi Antennas to broadcast wireless DMX/RDM in this busy outdoor setting, as well as a RadioScan® Spectrum Analyzer to ensure their signal would broadcast over a less crowded area of the spectrum, in this City Theatrical case study Q&A with Andrew Thompson of Starlite. “The Multiverse Vero Transceiver’s ability to be configured to respond to RDM without passing it along to the fixtures allows our technicians to check if a connection is healthy between the central controller and remote building without physically accessing the remote receivers, which was key to managing the project timeline.” - Andrew Thompson, Senior Project Manager, Starlite (Read case study) |

Multiverse Vero Transceivers and Yagi Antennas at Walkway Over The Hudson |
ETC Representatives Nick Emerick and Gary Dulanski of The Dulanski Group of Purchase, New York, USA and the lighting team for Walkway Over The Hudson project were looking for a robust and reliable wireless DMX solution for this outdoor lighting installation that stands high above the Hudson River, through the extremities of all seasons in beautiful upstate New York. They were looking to relay the wireless DMX signal across the bridge from the administration building on the far west end of the walkway to locations across the span of the bridge. “We have used Multiverse wireless DMX/RDM before with ETC fixtures, and we knew it was reliable and would last. The Multiverse Vero Transceiver in custom enclosures solution was perfect for this outdoor installation that stands high above the Hudson River, and able to stand against the extremities of all seasons in beautiful upstate New York.” - Gary Dulanski, The Dulanski Group Discover more about their experience with the Multiverse Vero Transceiver for outdoor-grade wireless DMX/RDM, Yagi Long Range Antennas, and custom stainless-steel enclosures (that hold the Multiverse Vero Transceivers) in this City Theatrical wireless DMX case study Q&A with Gary Dulanski. |

Multiverse Wireless DMX/RDM at The Great Jack O'Lantern Blaze |
"With the Multiverse Transmitter, we were able to focus on setting up and talking to a single device, as opposed to setting up multiple devices. Broadcasting multiple universes from one device means fewer power supplies, a more compact package, and potentially lower wireless DMX costs." - Jay Woods, Lighting Designer, The Great Jack O’Lantern Blaze at Van Cortlandt Manor |

Multiverse Wireless DMX/RDM at Super Bowl LIVE in Bayfront Park in Miami, Florida |
“Multiverse worked great for us. When starting to design this show, Multiverse was the best option for us to get data around Bayfront Park. It made our load in process much quicker as well.” - John Fitzgerald, Lead Field Technician, Dynamic Productions USA |

City Theatrical Vero Wireless DMX Transceiver at Texas State Aquarium in Corpus Christi, Texas |
The new lighting design for the main atrium of the aquarium posed installation challenges because it included five custom manufactured truss rings, each suspended from the main beams at high points in the ceiling grid that makes up the glass frame around the roof of the building. This challenging location for the installation meant that installation team members would not be able to run DMX cable, and the project would require a strong wireless solution. To complicate matters for wireless reception, there was a large amount of metal enclosing each ring, which often causes reflections that create interference with signal reception. City Theatrical’s SHoW DMX Vero Transceivers were used as part of the ETC lighting control system with all applicable hardware for ease of installation. The transceivers were enclosed within the center of each of the five rings and used Maximum Bandwidth Technology™ to wirelessly control the lighting fixtures on the outside of the rings, creating a colorful, luminous effect inside and outside of the aquarium. |
