Configuration
You can configure the Vero Transceiver’s basic operating settings using the System Settings
(SHoW ID and Configuration) switches shown in the detail above.
Configuration switches:
P5, DMX Term: DMX512 termination On or Off. Turn On for end-of-line DMX512
connection.
14
P4, Rx/Tx: Receiver (Rx) On, or Transmitter (Tx) Off. Selects Receiver or Transmitter
operation
P3, Reset: On or Off. Switch On to hold in Reset
P2 Bootloader: On or Off. Sets the unit to Bootloader mode to upload and install radio
firmware upgrades from a connected SHoW DMX Neo Transceiver or Receiver.
P1 Default: On or Off. To restore the system to factory default settings:
1. Set P1 Default to On
2. Wait for Data Present LED to blink rapidly
3. Switch P1 to Off
SHoW ID
Like the original SHoW DMX Classic system, the SHoW DMX Neo system uses SHoW IDs as a
quick way to set RF configuration options. Each SHoW ID represents a combination of one of
16 hopping patterns and one of four bandwidth settings. 7400-5707 Vero Transceiver supports
Neo and Neo Adaptive SHoW IDs only.
The Transmitter and Receiver SHoW IDs must match for the units to communicate.
The SHoW DMX Vero Transceiver is preset at the factory with SHoW ID 201 for Adaptive
Spread Spectrum Frequency Hopping and Neo Low Latency broadcast mode.
SHoW ID may be set manually using the SHoW ID rotary switches or using RDM. Whichever
method is used last takes precedence. The unit maintains the last used setting over power
cycles, and checks on power up to see if switches have been changed while the unit was off.
To set the SHoW ID manually, simply set the SHoW ID Rotary Switches to the desired SHoW
ID.
In order to use RDM, you will also need an RDM controller or a lighting control console with a
built-in RDM controller (see below).
Neo Mode Operation
n Neo Mode, the SHoW DMX Neo system uses a new broadcast format that reduces latency to
~ 7mS max and provides further resistance to interference susceptibility or creation.
Neo Mode supports Adjustable Broadcast Power, Maximum, Full, and Limited Bandwidth,
Limited Burst, and uses 68 SHoW IDs, providing 16 hopping patterns in each Bandwidth
setting.
Choosing Max Technology is as simple as using the onboard user interface (or RDM) to select
one of the two Max Bandwidth SHoW IDs (165 or 166) rather than any other of the 68 SHoW
DMX SHoW IDs (SHoW IDs 101-164 and adaptive hopping IDs 201-204) that determine the
combination of frequency hopping pattern and area of the broadcast band to transmit on. This
is simple and takes only seconds to do.

Neo Adaptive Mode Operation
The SHoW DMX Vero Transceiver can be configured to operate in the new Neo Adaptive
(AFHSS) Mode. Neo Adaptive Mode uses an Adaptive Spread Spectrum Frequency Hopping
broadcast format in which the system detects interference and adapts its frequency hopping
channel set automatically to avoid it.
Neo Adaptive Mode supports Adjustable Broadcast Power and provides 4 new Adaptive Mode
SHoW IDs. Latency is also reduced to ~7mS max in Adaptive Mode.

Hop Pattern: For Neo Mode select one of 16 hopping patterns. For Neo Adaptive
Mode, select one of four Universes (A-D). Each hopping pattern is unique and will
configure the broadcast so that only receivers with the same hopping pattern will sync up
with that Transmitter and receive the DMX broadcast.
Power: Select the desired transmit power setting. The power settings are 1mW, 14mW,
28mW or 72mW ETSI.
Bandwidth: Select one of 5 Bandwidth options: Maximum, Full, Wi-Fi 1-6, Wi-Fi 4-9, or
Wi-Fi 7-12.
# of Channels (limited burst): Select the full burst of 512 DMX channels (slots), or a
shorter limited burst.
Neo Mode: Limited burst options begin with 51 DMX channels and increase in
increments of 52, so the options are 51, 103, 155, etc. to 467.

Adjustable Output Power
The broadcast power of the SHoW DMX Vero Transceiver is adjustable to allow the user to
calibrate the system’s broadcast power to match the requirements of the application.
Limited Bandwidth Hopping
In the Limited Bandwidth Hopping mode, the SHoW DMX Vero Transceiver system is assigned
to one of three sub-bands of the full 2.4Ghz spectrum. Each sub-band occupies approximately
2/5s of the full band, with one sub-band positioned at the low end, one in the center, and one at
the high end of the full spectrum. The three sub-bands overlap and each avoids some
combination of WiFi channels. This will allow the SHoW DMX Vero Transceiver to be set to
broadcast in a different area of the spectrum than other equipment being used in the area, to
minimize or eliminate interference with WiFi or other channel specific or limited bandwidth
equipment.
Limited Burst DMX Output
Limited Burst mode reduces the number of DMX channels and the amount of radio energy that
is broadcast by the Transmitter.
If you don’t need all 512 DMX values and you need to control the radio energy in your system
as much as possible, then you can use Limited Burst to target only the DMX channels you need,
and reduce your radio footprint even further.
In Limited Burst mode, the user may select a contiguous group of 51 slots or more DMX slots in
multiples of 52 slots (51+52, 51+104, etc.). Limited Burst slot counts include: 51, 103, 155, 207,
259, 311, 363, 415, and 467. These may be assigned to any starting address that will not
exceed the total 512 slot count when added to the remaining slots in the selected Burst size
(e.g. with 467 slots, the highest allowed starting address is 46, as 46+466 = 512).
RDM Operation
RDM stands for Remote Device Management. RDM is a lighting control protocol enhancement
to DMX512 specified by PLASA (formerly ESTA); the official name is ANSI/ESTA E1.20,
Entertainment Technology - Remote Device Management over USITT DMX512.
Using RDM, you can select one of the 68 available Neo SHoW IDs, adjust the broadcast power,
configure for limited burst transmission, edit the RDM Device Label, and enable or disable RDM
traffic.
The SHoW DMX Vero Transceiver is fully enabled as an RDM proxy system, so you can use
RDM to manage your SHoW DMX Vero Transceiver system and any connected RDM
responders that are downstream of the system.
Remember that when RDM is enabled, the system uses ~ 25% of its available DMX bandwidth
for RDM so DMX fidelity and refresh rate are reduced. For best DMX fidelity, disable RDM
traffic from the Receivers back to the Transmitting unit when you are not using RDM.
You can use RDM to change SHoW IDs in connected devices. Remember that once you have
changed the SHoW ID in a connected Receiver, you will lose communication with that Receiver
until you change your Transmitter to the matching SHoW ID.

enable RDM Traffic (Set RDM_TRAFFIC_ENABLE to 01).
Note that DMX transmission fidelity may be slightly reduced when RDM Traffic is enabled.
