City Theatrical SHoW DMX Quick Start Manual

The SHoW DMX User Interface

The SHoW DMX Transmitter, Receiver, and Dimmer all share the same basic user
interface; a button pad for user control and an LCD screen that displays menu settings,
configuration options, performance data, and any other text or graphics that relate to unit
function.
Quick Start Guide
Here is how to set up a basic wireless DMX distribution system with one SHoW DMX
Transmitter and one SHoW DMX Receiver:
1. Install the SHoW DMX Transmitter in a convenient location within range of the
desired Receiver location. Transmitters should be elevated above the audience (or
other barriers) whenever possible.
2. Connect the DMX 512 Console's DMX output to the SHOW DMX Transmitter via a
standard DMX 512 cable and power up the console. Just as with any other DMX
device, set the Transmitter's input termination as needed.
3. Install the SHoW DMX Receiver in the desired location. Avoid placing the Receiver
so that there is a radio barrier between it and the Transmitter. It is OK to place the
Receiver inside or behind an object (such as a prop or set piece), providing the
Receiver has adequate ventilation and the object is not a radio barrier. Radio
barriers include metal, some glass, and water. Also, avoid placing the receiver too
close to the Transmitter. SHoW DMX radios are very effective, so Transmitters
and Receivers should be separated by at least 10 feet.
4. Connect the SHoW DMX Receiver's DMX Output to the DMX input of equipment
you want to control.
