Multiverse® Vero Transceiver

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.”

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.

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.
