How do I operate more than one RC4 system in close proximity?

Jan 24, 2011 | FAQ, Getting Started, Radio

Problem:

You need to operate two or more RC4 systems in close proximity without interference.

Solution:

We’ve taken care of part of this problem for you at the factory.  Every user is issued their own set of unique digital IDs.  Nobody else has your IDs.  If you set up your system, and someone else sets up their system right beside you, neither of you will notice at all.  Your receivers are under your control; their receivers are under their control.  There is nothing you have to do to ensure this happens.

RC4Magic Series 2 systems are provided with 3 unique IDs and a Public ID.  Each unique ID can be operated completely independently.  Thus, if you have enough pieces in your system, you can setup a DMXio to transmit on each different ID, and set receivers to sync to whichever one you prefer.  Each separate ID is a completely separate digital network that supports its own complete DMX universe.  If you include the Public ID, that’s four universes of wireless.

The Public ID is a little bit less secure than your 3 unique IDs.  Every RC4Magic Series 2 system we have ever sold has the same Public ID (hexadecimal 999).  If you need to combine your RC4Magic devices with someone else’s so you have one big system, set all the pieces on the Public ID.  As long as nobody else is using the RC4Magic Public ID within 300 feet of you, your system will perform flawlessly.  It’s extremely unlikely that the user in the next theatre or in the rehearsal space upstairs is also using the Public ID; they will be using one of their unique system IDs.
