Active Hub question

[caretaker]

It was my understanding that if you had an active hub and you set it to pixelnet universe 2 but set DMX to universe one the DMX output would be channel 1 through 512.  My active hub which I have set Pixelnet universe 2 and DMX universe 1 is outputting DMX channels from 4097 to 4609..... Was I wrong in my understanding or is there something wrong with my hub. My current work around was to run a 80 foot cat5 to another Lynx Express to get DMX universe 1 to my 2nd story stuff.

No it mirrors the pixelnet channels so it would be the first 512 channels of the pixelnet channels you have selected. This document explains it pretty well.

Thanks Keith,  I will have to remap my channels for my porch stuff in LSP next year or just run the extra cable like this year.  Although I sure wish the hub worked like the way I hoped it did.

Ran into the same problem last year...  Think I finally understand the pixelnet network. 

Remapping in LSP is faster than you might think if you have the spare channels in your 2nd PN universe.  Probably faster than making and installing the cable...

Except for the fact that I would have to redo about 14 sequences, then convert them to .xseq..... I am going to re-map my whole show next year so it's a good project for late January.
