Multiverse SHoW ID: 4 or 5 digit number.
SHoW DMX Neo ID: 3 digit number.
Changing ColorSource V Fixtures to a SHoW Neo ID via Fixture UI
As of fixture software version 1.1.0, to set a Neo ID from a Multiverse ID via the RAD - Id menu of the fixture UI, you can press and hold the down button until the ID reaches 100, then press down again to switch to the Neo IDs and select the desired ID. To get into the menu structure when the fixture does not have signal and is blinking its address, press and hold the menu button until the DMX value is solid, then press and hold for 5 seconds until the menu structure is pulled up. This is not available in software version 1.0.0.

ColorSource Spot V and ColorSource Fresnel can only display 3 digits on the UI. When checking the ID in the configuration menu it will display the SHoW ID number and flash "nEo" on the display to confirm it is set to SHoW DMX Neo mode. By default, "nEo" would not display and the prefix 24 is assumed for the Multiverse ID.
