2 Introduction
While Multiverse Modules are circuit board mounted devices used by
professional lighting manufacturers, City Theatrical’s Multiverse Receiver
Card, 900MHz (P/N 5907, licensed for use in North America) can be used by
anyone to implement wireless DMX/RDM into their projects or equipment in a
simple way. 5907 Multiverse Receiver Cards are full Multiverse receivers for
the 900MHz band (P/N 5906 is for the 2.4GHz band) without the housing, XLR
connectors, and user interface as used in wireless DMX receiving products like
Multiverse Node and Multiverse SHoW Baby. Multiverse Receiver Cards include an
internal antenna and a U.FL connection to an optional external antenna.
Configuration is done via City Theatrical’s USB Configuration program for
PC/MAC. This product is designed and built in the USA by City Theatrical.

4 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.

4.7 SHoW Key
The 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 Power
Output 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 Selection
This 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. control
Confirm 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 only
partially 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 your
Multiverse 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 USB
Configurator
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.

7.7 Approved Antennas
To reduce potential radio interference to other users, the antenna type and
its gain should be so chosen that the equivalent isotropically radiated power
(e.i.r.p.) is not more than that required for successful communication. This
device has been designed to operate with the antennas listed below. Antennas
not included in this list are strictly prohibited for use with this device.
The antenna impedance is 50 ohms. The integrator must provide the ability to
select an antenna in the end product and provide the following antenna
information as to its use in the product’s user manual.
The cards can be configured ONLY with any one of the approved antennas below
for fixed, pointto-point (one transmitter and one receiver) configuration.
When the card is configured for point-tomultipoint (one transmitter and
multiple receivers, receivers talk to transmitter only one at a time)
configuration, the card as a receiver can use any of the approved antennas.
When antennas ID2 is used, the user must select the antenna type “Panel” using
RDM.
When antennas ID3 is used, the user must select the antenna type “Yagi” using
RDM.
The integrator must include instructions in the product’s user manual as to
the setting of this RDM parameter. For example: “When using a panel antenna,
you must select `Panel Antenna’ in the antenna options using RDM.”
