5906 Multiverse Receiver Card, 2.4GHz 4.7 SHoW Key The SHoW Key setting allows a user to enter a key to privatize their SHoW ID from another system on the same SHoW ID. SHoW IDs and SHoW Keys need to match in order for receivers and transmitters to talk to each other. -
Page 11: Configuration For 0-10V Or Pwm (Advanced Mode)
5906 Multiverse Receiver Card, 2.4GHz 5 Configuration for 0-10V or PWM Output (Advanced Mode) Advanced mode allows the use of 0-10V and PWM outputs, setting the starting DMX addresses for those outputs, as well as relocating LED indicators in remote positions. - Page 12 See Table 8 for channel assignments. The DMX address is changed using RDM or the City Theatrical USB Configurator program. The PWM feature is configurable using the USB configurator only.
- Page 13 LED. The sink current for the external LED should not exceed 10mA. To use the pin as a PWM control output, use the City Theatrical USB Configurator program to enable the feature and connect pin to the control input of the host product. See Table 8 for channel assignments.

Page 22: Table 17: Approved Antennas
5906 Multiverse Receiver Card, 2.4GHz 7.8 Approved Antennas To reduce potential radio interference to other users, the antenna type and its gain should be so chosen that the equivalent isotropically radiated power (e.i.r.p.) is not more than that required for successful communication. - Page 23 City Theatrical issues firmware updates occasionally to add features or to fix bugs. The firmware version is found on the Info section of the 5906. Firmware updates are found on the CTI website on the 5906 Downloads tab.
