Neo Adaptive Adaptive Full Adjustable Output Power The broadcast power of the SHoW DMX Neo D4 Dimmer is adjustable to allow the user to calibrate the system s broadcast power to match the requirements of the application Note that adjustable output power affects the SHoW DMX Neo D4 Dimmer during RDM transactions and during Neo Adaptive mode operation when the internal radio broadcasts responses back to the controlling transmitter Output power adjustments are made in the SHoW DMX Neo D4 Dimmer using RDM Limited Bandwidth mode In Limited Bandwidth mode the SHoW DMX Neo 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 Wi Fi channels This will allow the SHoW DMX Neo D4 Dimmer 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 Wi Fi or other channel specific or limited bandwidth equipment Limited Bandwidth mode settings are configured using SHoW IDs see above 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 yo
