Wireless DMX, W-DMX, CRMX and Multiverse

Using this guide

Radio replaces a data section; the correct universe, personality and address remain necessary.

Prepare your rental inquiry

• Date, city, venue and setup, event and pickup schedule.
• Intended use, area dimensions and equipment already supplied by the venue or production.
• Transmitter and receiver, version or mode if known; label photos and approximate placement with obstructions can start an inquiry before a compatible pair is confirmed.
• Areas to control, duration and access during the event; say whether a wired route is possible and what support is needed for link preparation, testing and recovery.

Specify equipment only or whether setup, programming, operation and strike are also needed. Scope is confirmed in the proposal.

You do not need a final equipment list: tell us the result you want and the part you need help with. Availability and scope are confirmed in the proposal.

Features and connections

W-DMX and CRMX have hardware-dependent generations and compatible modes. Multiverse uses its own ecosystem. Bluetooth, Wi-Fi or an app do not prove compatible DMX reception.

Choose a link by the documented transmitter/receiver pair rather than the wireless label. For ambience, compare permitted positions, obstructions and access during the event. If the pair or venue test remains unresolved, assess a wired route and the planned local state before committing to operation; no protocol alone guarantees performance in that environment.

Prepare the system

1. List transmitter, integrated or external receiver, generation, firmware and modes supported by both manuals.
2. Test console and fixture by cable. Insert radio afterward and check transmitter data input, RF link and receiver output separately.
3. Record pairing and settings; test final positions under representative audience conditions and prepare wired or local recovery.

Questions and troubleshooting

Precautions

• Do not assume RDM or multiple universes because a radio is present; check each path’s capacity.
• Do not modify antennas, internal modules or firmware to force interoperability during an event.
• Document data-loss behavior and safe fixture state; restoring a link may restore previous levels.

Terms on this page

DMX

A data protocol controlling lighting functions; each model defines what its channels mean.

RDM

Management communication for querying or configuring compatible equipment over a compatible path.

Patch

Assignment of fixture, profile, address and universe in the control system.

Personality

A control mode defining the channels and functions used by a fixture.
