All of the Pixelnet hubs have DMX outs, and in the software you would program either pixelnet or DMX the same, so really it isn't necessary to make any changes. Just program the Aethers to whatever channels you want, and then just plug them into the hubs DMX out, the hub makes the necessary conversion from pixelnet to DMX without you doing anything, except making sure you convert to the right channels in the software. There is a chart on the Wiki to show you which are which. I personally just put all of my DMX stuff on hub 1 and set my DMX to universe one, so didn't have to even think about it. My LEs start at number 1, and then I start my SSC at 33, since I only have 2 LEs. Although once I get some Aethers, will need to do some reprogramming. Didn't plan very well this year for expansion.
