Introduction

The 5941 Multiverse® Studio Add On Kit 2.4GHz brings the advanced technology of the Multiverse wireless DMX/RDM system to the film and video world, featuring Receivers with 20 hour battery life and contactless charging in an easy to use kit.

Just drop the Multiverse Studio Receiver onto its slot in the case, and it will begin charging. Individual chargers and USB cables are also included to enable charging or powering individual units outside the case.

The 5941 Multiverse Studio Add On Kit provides six additional Multiverse Studio Receivers for users to expand upon their full 5939 Multiverse Studio Kits.

Getting Started

The USB flash drive included with each kit contains the user manual for each product in the kit, software downloads, and other useful information.
Here are basic steps in setting up a system:

Use the RadioScan Spectrum Analyzer to view the radio activity in the spectrum around you, and choose the area of the spectrum in which you want to broadcast. Use the Multiverse SHoW IDs tab on RadioScan to help choose a SHoW ID.
Enter the SHoW ID you chose into the Multiverse Transmitter or Multiverse Node you are using, and into each Multiverse Studio Receiver.
Enter the universe you are broadcasting, and an optional SHoW Key into the Multiverse Transmitter or Multiverse Node you are using, and into each Multiverse Studio Receiver.

Note: SHoW ID, Universe, and SHoW Key (if used) must match on transmitter and all receivers.

For additional information, consult the product manuals of the individual products. They can be found on the USB flash drive in the 5939 Multiverse Studio Kit, or on the City Theatrical website on each individual product page.

Charging in The Charging Case

Multiverse Studio Add On Kit 2.4GHz utilizes a contactless charging system. Individual chargers and USB cables are also included to enable charging individual units outside the case.

Multiverse Studio Receivers have a run time of 20 hours using the default settings. The setting which most influences run time is the backlight brightness. The default setting is 70%, and run time can be extended by decreasing backlight brightness, or by setting a backlight timeout period which will turn the backlight off after a time period you set. Touching any key will turn the backlight on again for the period you chose. Setting the backlight to 100% will reduce run time to approximately 16 hours.

Always charge with the lid of the case open for ventilation. Charge time from fully discharged to fully charged is 3.5 hours.
Charging may be done with Multiverse Studio Receivers either turned on or off.

To charge Multiverse Studio Receivers, plug the charging case into 100-240VAC power using the included power cord with PowerCON True 1 connector. Simply lay the Multiverse Studio Receivers onto the charging tray in their individual slots, making sure they are touching the bottom of the tray. The charging indicator light will be red to indicate that charging is in progress.

If the Multiverse Studio Receiver is on while charging, the battery icon on the user interface will show a lightning bolt when touching the contactless charger, and the percentage of charge will be shown. When fully charged to 100%, the charging indicator light will be green.

Charging Outside the Charging Case

Individual Multiverse Studio Receivers can be charged outside the charging case by using the power supplies and USB-A to USB-C cables included in the kit. Plug the power supply into 100-240VAC and plug the USB-A to USB-C cable into the power supply and the Multiverse Studio Receiver. Using this method, charge time from fully discharged to fully charged is 2.5 hours.
