Who is this question to and what exactly is it about?  If you are referring to the PixelNet protocol itself, then yes it works and all of the smart string equipment uses it exclusively.  It provides 4096 channels per universe.
If at first you don't succeed,
your not cut out for sky diving

I'm in the Panther section.  I'm asking if the creator of the device (Panther DMX Player) if they were able to get it working (able to support DMX and Pixelnet) since they were talking about it at one point.

I'm think off the top of my head here, I was able to get around 1500 channels thru the device at about 100ms no where near the standard 4096 channels. And with limited functionality.  At this point I am not sure that its worth releasing with these limitation.  I was thing about creating some videos on YouTube that shows how you can create your own firmware and interface with the device and send pixelnet out. But I wanted to wait
Until after the coop is finished and everyone that has it built has it working.

LOL, I forgot what forum I was in when I saw this post.  Now your question makes perfect sense.

Ok no problem was hoping you did.  I only need roughly 100 channels for what I was going to use it for.  SSC controlling landscape lighting.  :)  Guess Ill have to get a DMX to SPI controller.  No worries.  Thank you very much.

Well, a 1000 channels would be fine with me, I'd encourage some additional work on this.  Be nice to have some small "shows" run on items without all the goodies and cables all over the yard.
