Multiverse® Module
Designed for OEM Partners
City Theatrical's Multiverse Modules are best suited for lighting equipment manufacturers who are interested in adding wireless DMX to their products. Due to low cost, increased data transport, and ease of design integration, the Multiverse Module marks the first time that the implementation of a wireless DMX chip in every DMX device is possible.
The Multiverse Module* is available in 2.4GHz. This frequency version can include a PCB trace antenna or not. It has a U.FL connector to connect to an external antenna.
OEM Implementation
Multiverse Modules are available on reels for surface mounting. The OEM Implementation Kit includes a detailed guide, equipment, test gear and more. Learn more: OEM Manufacturing Guide.

Additional Information
Multiverse Module or Multiverse Receiver Card: How to Decide Which is Right for You
Multiverse’s patented wireless DMX/RDM technology is now available to lighting manufacturers and end users alike for the implementation
of wireless DMX/RDM into entertainment projects or lighting equipment with Multiverse Module and Multiverse Receiver Card products. This technology allows larger and larger systems to be scaled up without producing harmful amounts of radio energy,
at a significant cost savings.
The following chart will help you start thinking about important factors that may affect your wireless DMX implementation, and how Multiverse Module or Multiverse Receiver Card can help you reach your business
goals.

| Multiverse Module | Multiverse Receiver Card | ||
Part Numbers (2.4GHz only) | 5994, 5995 | 5906 | ||
Frequencies | 2.4GHz | 2.4GHz | ||
Ideal User | Lighting manufacturers with engineering capacity, or highly skilled specialty shops | Anyone who wants to implement wireless DMX/RDM into a product or project | ||
Skill Level | Circuit board design and programming skills required | No special engineering or programming skills to implement; basic hand soldering skills only | ||
RDM | Allows RDM integration of entities so Multiverse RDM information appears together with fixture RDM information | RDM of device and Multiverse Receiver Card appear as two separate entities | ||
Outputs | DMX/RDM | DMX/RDM, 0-10V, and four PWM control outputs | ||
Availability | Sold directly from City Theatrical after signing a City Theatrical Multiverse OEM License Agreement | Sold through any City Theatrical dealer | ||
Work Required | Requires design and engineering work up front, but very little work in production (surface mount part) | Requires no work up front but some work to install each unit (hand soldering and possibly remoting of indicator lights, depending on your application) | ||
Cost | Requires purchase of OEM development kit ($1,000); per piece cost varies from $60 for one piece to under $20 for quantities of multiple thousands | List price $250 each which declines as volume increases. End users contact your City Theatrical dealer for details. Manufacturers call City Theatrical for quantity pricing. | ||
Best Choice if: | High volume use is anticipated | Low volume use is anticipated |

| Onboard Multiverse wireless DMX/RDM in ETC Fixtures at the University of Georgia |
“The beauty of this lighting system lies in the Multiverse wireless DMX/RDM connectivity. The only cable is from the console to a City Theatrical Multiverse Transmitter. After that, it’s all wireless DMX. - Josh Fisher, Systems Integrator, Barbizon Lighting, Atlanta office
With red being the school color at the University of Georgia in Athens, Georgia, ETC and Barbizon Lighting Company sought to upgrade the school's Marketing and Communications Studio with lighting that ranged to deep red hues using fos/4 Panel and Desire Fresnel lighting fixtures, which came equipped with City Theatrical’s onboard Multiverse wireless DMX/RDM technology. Once the UGA team found success with the new lighting system in the studio, they also performed a similar upgrade for Mahler Hall, a multi-function auditorium and meeting space on the same campus, in which the built-in Multiverse wireless DMX capability of the ETC fixtures offered savings in time and data cable costs for the university. |

| Onboard Multiverse Wireless DMX/RDM at The Fisher Center at Belmont University |
"Our Multiverse Transmitter broadcasts wireless DMX to the onboard Multiverse wireless DMX/RDM receivers that come standard in the ETC Source Four Series 3 LED fixtures in our ten dance towers. With wireless DMX, we only use one overhead cable to power the booms; there is nothing tethering them at the bottom. Using Multiverse wireless DMX/RDM in this manner has made our jobs much easier, and even safer." - Rachel Blasengame, Lighting Designer, The Fisher Center at Belmont University Find out how the lighting team at Belmont University uses one Multiverse Transmitter to broadcast wireless DMX to ten freestanding Tomcat Dance Towers, each containing three to five ETC Source Four Series 3 LED light fixtures with onboard Multiverse wireless DMX/RDM technology as standard, to provide light for major concerts, plays, operas, and more, in this case study Q&A with Resident LD Rachel Blasengame. |

| Multiverse Module Wireless DMX Technology in ETC's Source Four LED Series 3 and Desire Fresnel | After a decade of research, something brilliant launched on March 30, 2021: ETC’s Source Four LED Series 3 and Desire Fresnel light fixtures, which are already setting standards that are far from standard. Both fixtures feature City Theatrical’s Multiverse® protocol for integrated wireless DMX/RDM, and can be easily configured using ETC’s Set Light app via both NFC and a Multiverse Transmitter. | |
| City Theatrical’s Multiverse Wireless DMX Technology in ETC's Fos/4 Panels | City Theatrical’s Multiverse® Wireless DMX technology is now available with ETC's Fos/4 Panels, providing wireless DMX for these new studio lighting fixtures. City Theatrical’s Multiverse wireless DMX provides control along with a Multiverse Transmitter and console, allowing users to broadcast as many as 10 universes of DMX from a single transmitter without excessive radio energy. |
