CARLSTADT, NJ – City Theatrical’s new SHoW DMX SHoW Baby 5 has five SHoW IDs. This allows systems to be scaled up to multi universe broadcasts by using more than one transmitter. It can also be used as a way of avoiding interference from other SHoW Babys in the area.
SHoW Baby 5 is still plug and play. Each unit is a transceiver, and by plugging a DMX cable IN, it automatically selects itself to be a Transmitter. If nothing is plugged into the DMX IN port, it selects itself to be a Receiver.
SHoW Baby 5 has the same price as the original SHoW Baby (List price: $350 in the U.S and £230 in Europe), and is compatible with all existing SHoW Babys in the world.
There are still seven indicator lights on the front of the SHoW Baby — four for signal strength, one to designate whether it is a Transmitter, one to designate whether it is a Receiver, and a data present light.
In the SHoW Baby 5, the data light (now labeled ID/Data) serves a second purpose: to designate the SHoW ID.
A small indented button on the back of the unit, when pushed, cycles through the five SHoW IDs, and the user selects the same ID/Data light color for the Transmitter and all intended Receivers.
If there are two SHoW Baby systems in an area, or if users need to scale up a multi universe system by adding additional Transmitters, they simply select a different color of ID/Data light.
All SHoW Babys are still compatible with the full SHoW DMX Neo system and can be used as ?receivers on that system.
The SHoW Baby 5 is available with either five pin or three pin XLR connectors.
