my intention was to use two pixelnet dongles, and 2 dmx dongles going into the combiner. 1-2 pixelnet 3-4 dmx
then when i got to my first device, then breakout by using a combiner (hooked up backwards to split)
say it was an express, 1-2 would just jumper (short ethernet cable) into another combiner
one of the 3-4 would go into the express, then output into the combiner, the last dmx channel would go back into the combiner
then all 4 could run to the next device.
now, if i wanted to branch off something (maybe i wanted one of my pixelnet to go off in a new direction, then i'd just not hook that line up again, and just send it off in the direction it needed to go.
originally i was going to get 10 combiners, before i had to drop out
