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:
1. 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.
2. Enter the SHoW ID you chose into the Multiverse Transmitter or Multiverse Node you
are using, and into each Multiverse Studio Receiver.
3. 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.
Here is a closer look at the SHoW ID numbering system:

Faster data rates provide more
DMX universes. Slower data
rates travel longer distances and
provide more immunity to
interference.

Specifies which sections
of the wireless band the
frequency hopping
utilizes.
0
Use full range of
2.4GHz band.
1 Use only lowband
channels.
2 Use only mid band
channels (availablefor
Data Rate 1 only).
3 Use only highband
channels.
4 Use only extreme high
band to avoid WiFi
(2.4GHz only).
5 Adaptive hopping.
Avoids busy channels
by analyzing
spectrum.
If multiple wireless
systems need to operate
with the same data rate
and band this value will
change the hopping
pattern to minimize
overlapping between the
two systems. Can be any
number from 0 –9 (not all
bands have all Hop
Patterns).
Note: Not all combinations of digits are possible and unused numbers are reserved for future
use.
