Just to clarify, if someone already has say (4) Smart String Hubs ... and say each one is assigned a different pixelnet universe (4096 channels) ... and this conductor (an ED daughter board) outputs to the attached etherdongle (ED) ... and the Etherdongle then say connects to each of the 4 SS Hubs (pixelnet) ... you really already have the potential for (4) DMX universes on the SS Hub DMX OUT ports (1 DMX universe per SS Hub used) ... so you would just be converting them from pixelnet back into DMX at the SS Hub.
To me, making the conductor have DMX firmware seems like its got its place, but its a much more limited use because then your limited to DMX only and maybe just running a more conventional show with less RGB and no pixelnet, smart strings, right?
It seems that the way its going to work now, you get the maximum capability and the most flexibility, but you need to be able to get your sequences into the required sequence format for the conductor and onto a memory card first. And last I heard, that format was .xseq that xlights can converts into, correct?
