White Paper: How Advances in Wireless DMX Will Change the Way We Do Lighting

Benefits of the 2.4GHz and 900MHz RF band

Back in January 2020, City Theatrical founder Gary Fails wrote about his vision of a future of lighting in his white paper, How Advanced in Wireless DMX will Change the Way We Do Lighting. Since then, thousands of productions and installations have used the Multiverse wireless DMX/RDM product line, and our vision remains the same:

A future of wireless lighting control in which every DMX controlled lighting fixture contains a tiny, inexpensive, Multiverse® Module, leading to wireless control of systems containing hundreds of fixtures and dozens of universes, and making lighting control easier for everyone.

Read our re-released 2023 white paper for our vision of Multiverse, plus new visuals to explain complex concepts.
