Setting a City Theatrical Multiverse Node into SHoW DMX Neo mode to work with ColorSource Relay
Can City Theatrical Multiverse Products work with ColorSource Relay?
In order for a Multiverse Node to talk to a device in Show Neo mode (such as the Colorsource Relay or the original SHoW Baby line), it must have it’s SHoW ID changed to be in the SHoW DMX Neo Range.
The Multiverse Transmitter cannot be put into SHoW IDs in the SHoW DMX Neo Range, and so cannot be used with ColorSource Relay.
