5907 Multiverse Receiver Card, 900MHz4 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.DMX tab RDM traffic disabled DMX port label: Default Port Label Universe: 1Multiverse tab SHoW ID: 9250 Antenna Selection: Internal Output Power: Max6

4.7 SHoW KeyThe 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 PowerOutput 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 SelectionThis 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.

5 Configuration for 0-10V or PWM Output (Advanced Mode)Advanced mode allows the use of 0-10V and PWM outputs, setting the starting DMX addresses for those outputs, as well as relocating LED indicators in remote positions.5.1 0-10V Feature The 0-10V feature provides one 0-10V control signal output for controlling architectural lighting devices. This feature can either sink or source control voltages without the need to configure sink/source.5.2 PWM Feature The PWM feature repurposes the receive quality LEDs into PWM outputs. These are low current control outputs and are not intended to drive lighting loads. The feature provides four PWM outputs. The PWM output is linear in respect to the DMX control input and has a resolution of 8 bits, using one DMX slot per output. Refer to Table 8 for DMX addressing.

6 Troubleshooting

Table 14: Troubleshooting Guide

Symptom

Solution(s) Check pinout to confirm proper power orientation.

Unit does not power up.

Use a multimeter to check for short circuits or voltage issues in power line.Confirm input voltage meets required specification.

Disconnect power and check if module turns on from USB port.

Check the status indicators and signal lights to confirm that a Multiverse transmitting device is in range and data is being sent.Reset factory defaults to return the card to a known state and use the USB Configurator to set up the addressing, wireless, and Unit Powers up but I have no other configuration options you need. controlConfirm that Antenna Mode is set correctly.

Double check DMX wiring pinout. On a 5-pin XLR connector pin 1 is the signal ground, pin 2 is the Data -, and pin 3 is the Data +.

Confirm both data + and data ­ lines are connected correctly and any solder joints are firm.

DMX devices are moving unreliably, flashing, or onlypartially working

Make sure the last unit in the DMX chain is properly terminated with a ½ watt 120 resistor across the data + and data ­ lines as per the DMX512-A specification.If downstream DMX units are constantly flashing or moving there is likely either a bad cable in the line, or a fixture with a failing DMX processing circuit. Try isolating cables and fixtures to locate the issue. Check for data corruption using the Flicker Finder function with a DMXcat at the end of the line.

DMX devices are flashing or moving every 3 to 5 seconds.

This typically caused by fixtures or devices that have a software issue that causes them to mistake RDM data for DMX. Turn off RDM traffic on the dimmer card.

DMX Device flashes unpredictably with times between 10 seconds and

This is often caused when a device can’t handle DMX at full speed. Try slowing down the DMX port at the DMX port yourMultiverse transmitting device is plugged into.

5907 Multiverse Receiver Card, 900MHz

several minutes between flashes

Try turning on “Hold last look” on the fixture if the option is available.

Check that 0-10V mode is enabled with the USB configurator.

Double check console patch and park functions. Try controlling directly by address.

The 0-10v output isn’t working

Confirm the Receiver Card’s DMX address.Check for short circuits between the 0-10 volt line and the power and ground lines.Confirm correct connections to 0-10v and ground lines. Don’t use the DMX ground line for this function.Use a multimeter to check for 0-10v after disconnecting the 010v pin from other devices. Double check that PWM output is enabled with the USB configurator.

Double check console patch and park. Confirm addressing with DMX map in manual.

The PWM outputs aren’t working

Double check the DMX Address set in the card with the USB configurator.Try metering the voltage on the PWM pins without any other devices connected while control channel is at full.If the PWM pins were shorted or an LED or other load larger than the amount specified in the manual was attempted to be driven than the port may be permanently damaged. If you need to drive large loads reach out to City Theatrical for example setups.Try additional USB cables. Some USB micro cables are only built for power delivery.

Unit powers up but can’t be controlled through USBConfigurator

Check status light to confirm that card is in its normal operating mode. If it is in bootloader mode for firmware updates it will not be available to the Configurator.

Check in your OS that the device is recognized as a communication device. Email for help.
