2 Introduction
City Theatrical's newest version of the Multiverse® Modules provides unprecedented levels of
data transmission in a tiny package, and at the lowest cost yet seen in the entertainment lighting
industry for professional quality wireless DMX.
Multiverse Modules are best suited for lighting equipment manufacturers who are interested in
adding wireless DMX to their products. Due to low cost, increased data transport, and ease of
design integration, the Multiverse Module marks the first time that the implementation of a
wireless DMX chip in every DMX device is possible.
The Multiverse Module is available in two frequency ranges, 900MHz (for use in the Americas)
and 2.4GHz (for use worldwide). Each frequency version can include a PCB trace antenna or
not. All versions have a U.FL connector to connect to external antennas. Consult Table 2 for
part numbers.
The implementation of Multiverse Modules is simple because they are available on reels for
surface mounting. The engineer can opt to integrate in one of three ways: Minimal, Basic or
Advanced.
The Minimal Integration Method replaces the DMX input circuitry with the module. The
Multiverse module will deliver DMX/RDM directly via TTL UART signals. In this configuration,
the Multiverse module will appear as a separate RDM device from the OEM product. This
method provides an easy path to add the Multiverse module to existing products without major
re-design of the product.
The Basic Integration Method replaces the DMX/RDM input circuitry, provides a DMX and RDM
stack and appears as a single integrated OEM RDM device. This configuration also allows for
seamless DMX wired and wireless operation without any additional hardware to be
implemented. This is the recommended integration method because it provides the most benefit
to the end user with the lowest implementation cost.
The Advanced Integration Method provides all of the features of the other two methods, but
enables multiple universes to be processed. This method of integration is required when you
need access to more than a single universe, or need to transport alternate start code (ASC)
data.

Approved Antennas
To reduce potential radio interference to other users, the antenna type and its gain should be so
chosen that the equivalent isotropically radiated power (e.i.r.p.) is not more than that required
for successful communication. This device has been designed to operate with the antennas
listed in Table 12 below. Antennas not included in this list are strictly prohibited for use with this
device. The required antenna impedance is 50 ohms.
The OEM integrator must provide the ability to select an antenna in the end product and provide
the following antenna information as to its use in the product’s user manual.
The modules can be configured ONLY with any one of the approved antennas listed in Table 12
for fixed, point-to-point (one transmitter and one receiver) configuration. When the device is
configured for point-to-multipoint (one transmitter and multiple receivers, receivers talk to
transmitter only one at a time) configuration, the receiver can use any of the approved
antennas, the transmitter can use any approved antenna listed in Table 12 except ID5 and ID8
Yagi directional antennas.
When antennas ID4 and ID7 are used, the antenna register must be selected to “Panel” mode.
When antennas ID5 and ID8 are used, the antenna register must be selected to “Yagi” mode.
The OEM must include instructions in the product’s user manual as to the setting of this register.
The setting of this register can be either thru the local UI or RDM. For example:
“When using a panel antenna, you must select “Panel Antenna” in the antenna options”

7 OEM Interfaces
The module has three interfaces to OEM systems, SPI, I2C and DMX TTL. Not all interfaces are
required to be connected to the OEM CPU. In this section, each interface will be described
followed by the three implementation examples.
7.1
I2C
The I2C bus provides bidirectional data transfer through a 2-wire interface, a serial data line
(SDA), and a serial clock line (SCL). An Attention line is included that is active low to notify the
OEM CPU that data is available to be read. The SDA and SCL lines each have 2KΩ internal
pull-up resistors. Additional pull up resistors may be needed depending on OEM’s circuit board
design.
Do not apply a 5 volt logic signal to the I2C bus.
You can have a maximum of one module on each I2C bus. Other I2C devices are allowed on
the same buss, but may impact performance and should be evaluated.
The Multiverse I2C chip address is 0x43.
The I2C interface can operate up to fast mode (400 Kbps).
The I2C interface is the only interface for configuring the module. All configurable parameters
are read or written to this interface.
Access any to all slot data can be obtained thru this interface. Care should be taken to not
attempt to retrieve more slot data than the interface speed can support for the DMX refresh rate
currently being transmitted if loss of data is intolerable.
For devices that wish to have a single RDM presence for the integrated device, RDM messages
addressed to the OEM’s UID will come from this interface.
Addressing registers is accomplished by supplying a 2 byte address after the I2C address. The
register addresses are defined below in Table 14.

7.1.2
I2C Protocol
7.1.2.1 Strings
Strings use 2 registers. The first contains the 1-byte length (0-255) of the string while the
second contains the string itself. When the length register is read the register address autoincrements to the string address which means if reading continues the string will clock out after
the length. Note that the auto-increment behavior only applies from the length address to the
string address. Once the string address is read the address remains at the string address and a
subsequent read will clock out the string again.
7.1.2.2 Termination and Overrun
If reading attempts to continue beyond the length of a register zeros will be clocked out
indefinitely. Zero will also provide an automatic termination for strings.
If writing continues beyond the length of a register then extra bytes are discarded.
If writing is terminated by a Stop condition before the specified number of bytes have been
written then the entire operation is discarded. A write may be suspended and re-commenced by
a repeat-Start, but this is not a common use-case.

7.1.2.3 Repeated Reads
The read/write logic is reset by an I2C Stop condition. Following a Stop a repeated read with no
register address write will read the same register again, except in special cases where the
register address auto-increments (string-length registers and slot array). If a read occurs with
no intervening Stop (repeated Start condition) then reading continues from the previous
position.
7.1.2.4 Repeated Writes
Following a Stop condition, the first two bytes written are always interpreted as a register
address. If a write operation begins with a repeated Start condition then it will continue from the
previous position.
7.1.2.5 Slot Array
Registers 0x4000 through 0x49FF are individual 1 byte registers at consecutive addresses.
Address auto-increments on read or write. Slots are readable in both hub and node modes.
Slots are only writeable in hub mode.

I2C Register Descriptions
7.1.3.1 (0x0046) I2C Attention Register
Whenever the radio module needs to read/write data from/to the OEM CPU, it will assert the I2C
Attention line.
The OEM CPU will read this register to determine the attention reason. Reason codes are
defined in Table 17. When reading this register, there will be eight bytes returned. The first byte
is the reason, followed by 7 bytes of data. Table 16 defines the data bytes returned.
21
599x Series
www.citytheatrical.com
After reading the I2C Attention register, a read of the RDM PD register is required to get the
message data. If the PD length reported in the I2C Attention register is less 2 bytes or less, the
needed data for the RDM command will be included in the attention register and a read of the
RDM PD register is not necessary.

(0x0047) I2C RDM Proxy Traffic Enable
7.1.3.3 (0x0049) I2C RDM Response
This write only register is used to send RDM responses back to the radio module.
The radio module will generate an ACK_TIMER with a value of 1 in the case where the OEM
CPU does not answer the RDM message within the RDM timing requirements. In order to avoid
the ACK_TIMER, the OEM CPU needs to have the complete response transferred back to the
radio module within 2ms.
When the ACK_TIMER expires and the RDM controller tries to retrieve the response and the
OEM CPU still has not supplied the response, the radio module will respond with a NACK
NR_BUFFER_FULL and consider the message cycle complete.
If the RDM controller sends a message other than Get:QUEUED_MESSAGE before or after the
ACK_TIMER and the OEM CPU writes a new response to the RDM Response register, the old
message is overwritten.

7.1.3.4 (0x004A) I2C RDM PD
The read only register contains the RDM PD of the message received when the PDL of the
message is greater than 2 bytes.
When the I2C Attention register is read and the PD byte is greater than 2, this register must be
read to get the RDM messages payload.
7.2
SPI
The SPI interface is used for slot data and RDM messages external to the OEM product.
The interface has an attention signal to notify the OEM CPU that the interface has data
available to be read.
This interface is mutually exclusive with the UART interface. If you use the UART for a DMX
interface, SPI is disabled. If you enable the SPI interface, the UART is disabled.
