Multiverse Transmitter on set at The Sex Lives of College Girls Season 1 for HBO Max

Case Study: Multiverse Wireless DMX at The Sex Lives of College Girls Season 1 on HBO Max

Chief Lighting Technician Carlos M. Torres and his team for HBO Max's The Sex Lives of College Girls were looking for a robust and reliable wireless DMX solution for shooting Season I of the show at Warner Brothers Studio, Burbank, CA. They found that the Multiverse® Studio Kit provided the broadcast planning tools, dual band technology, long battery life, and contactless charging they were looking for. Learn more about their experience with the Multiverse Studio Kit and other wireless DMX/RDM products, including QolorFLEX® 5x2.5A Multiverse Dimmers, in this case study Q&A.

"Multiverse Studio Receivers are reliable and always hold the connection. That's why I keep Multiverse and continue to use it. I love it."

New Product: 1253 Adapter, Source Four to Scrim

City Theatrical designed the Adapter, 6 1/4” to 6 5/8” Source Four to Scrim (P/N 1253), for the needs of film lighting projects. You can use it to connect one or multiple scrims to an ETC Source Four lighting fixture, in order to achieve the lighting looks desired for film and video projects.


City Theatrical Adapters can extend the use of your accessory inventory by allowing larger accessories, like those with a 7.5” frame size, to be used on a standard Source Four with a 6.5” frame. City Theatrical Adapters allow you to use older Top Hats, or even newer Source Four PAR size Top Hats, color scrollers, or effects devices with Source Four fixtures.
