SHoW DMX Neo SHoW DMX Neo
New Features of SHoW DMX Neo Include:
Three User Selectable Broadcast Modes
In SHoW DMX Neo Mode, CTI’s proprietary system synchronizes the FHSS
(Frequency Hopping Spread Spectrum) hopping period so that every DMX
data packet is transmitted completely during a single hop. In SHoW DMX Neo
Adaptive Mode, the system will automatically adapt away from interference with no user intervention necessary.
In SHoW DMX Classic Mode the system is exactly compatible with all existing older SHoW DMX systems.
Adjustable Output Power
The SHoW DMX Neo Transceiver has adjustable broadcast power from 1-72mW ETSI. This allows the user to adjust the
output power to meet the application requirement. The option of adjustable output power allows users to select only the
power needed and to respect the wireless needs of their colleagues on their production, and other wireless users in the
area. This philosophy is diametrically opposed to some other manufacturers who sell powerful radios with only one output
setting designed to overpower all radio users in the area.
Adjustable Hopping Patterns, Including Full Bandwidth Hopping and Limited Bandwidth Hopping
SHoW DMX Neo and Classic Modes offer more than one kind of user selectable FHSS hopping mode. In full bandwidth
hopping mode, the system will continuously and pseudo-randomly hop between slots across the full 2.4GHz spectrum.
This mode is available at any output power setting, and is quite typical of all FHSS radios. In the Limited Bandwidth Hop-
ping mode, the 2.4GHz band is divided into sub-bands. Each sub-band occupies approximately 40% of the full band, with
one positioned at the low end, one in the center, and one at the high end of the full band. This allows the SHoW DMX Neo
Transceiver to be set to hop and broadcast in a different area of the spectrum to minimize or eliminate interference with
WiFi or other channel specific or limited bandwidth equipment.
Limited Burst DMX Output
When SHoW DMX Neo or Classic Modes are selected, users may utilize Limited Burst mode to select for broadcast any
contiguous group of 30 or more DMX slots in multiples of 32 slots. These may be assigned to any starting address that
will accommodate the packet size. This will reduce the amount of radio energy that is broadcast, thereby reducing the
potential for interference with other systems. For instance, if a show needs only 128 slots of wireless DMX, the
system can be set to broadcast only 128 slots, causing the radio to go silent 75% of the time (1-128/512) =.75). If only
64 slots are used, the radio will be silent 87% of the time. This silent time reduces overall radio spectrum activity and
increases the chances of all other radio signals in the vicinity to be broadcast successfully.
SHoW DMX Neo Adaptive Mode
In SHoW DMX Neo Adaptive Mode, Adaptive Spread Spectrum Frequency Hopping identifies and masks off hopping chan-
nels with interference, replacing them in the hop sequence with alternate channels. If users choose not to use manual
settings, they can choose this setting instead.
Simple Default Plug and Play Mode
The SHoW DMX Neo system has a sophisticated user interface allowing complete control of a number of settings, but in
its default mode, SHoW DMX Neo is completely plug and play. In its factory mode, or by resetting factory defaults,
Transmitter and Receiver will wake up in contact with each other and no other settings are needed unless the user
chooses to make them. With all its sophistication, the SHoW DMX Neo system is also one of the simplest systems
available.
RDM
The SHoW DMX Neo system uses RDM communications for all remote device control and configuration, or for any
inter-device communication required. This provides an easily understood method for managing requirements such as Re-
ceiver strength and Dimmer address setting. RDM commands may be issued from an upstream RDM controller such as
a console or from the Transmitter.
RDM features include:
1. RDM Control : SHoW DMX Neo can be controlled by any RDM controller.
2. RDM Proxy Functions: Transmitters and Receivers act together as an RDM proxy system, providing a bidirectional
half-duplex RDM link between the controller and any RDM device being controlled via the SHoW DMX system.
4. RDM Discovery/Unique Device IDs: Each unit is programmed with a unique RDM device ID that will identify the unit,
permitting RDM discovery, as well as communication with and control of each specific device.
5. Receiver Received Signal Strength: System remotely polls each Receiver for its received signal strength via
standard RDM.
6. RDM Responder Features: SHoW DMX Dimmers have appropriate RDM features such as discovery, DMX
addressing, battery power status, etc.
Ethernet Gateway Features
The SHoW DMX Neo has advanced built-in Ethernet Gateway features including dual Ethernet ports and support of
multiple show control protocols including sACN, Art-Net and KiNet.
