Hub Modification

[travailen]

Can the PixelNet 16 active and passive hubs be modified from working with universes 1 thru 4 to work with universes 5 thru 8. If so, how do I do it.

Thanks,

There is no modification required.  The hub works with 4 Universes because it has 4 pairs of inputs.  You can better think of Universe 1 thu 4 as pair 1 thru 4.  If the hub is connected to an Etherdongle or conductor that is sending out Universes 5 thru 8, then the hub is working with those universes and pair 1 would be Universe 5, pair 2 would be Universe 6, etc .......

RJ posted separate firmware image(s) for the EtD that has different multicast addresses for universes 5-8 and 9-12.  This will allow your show computer to send E1.31 packets over the same physical network to the 3 EtDs out there.  As tbone says, each EtD will act the same...  the second EtD would use jumpers 1 to get pixelnet universe 5, jumpers 2 to get pixelnet 6, and so on...

Thank you for the help.
