I'm trying to ask specific as possible, but i guess people are not getting my question.  I really don't want to make this a technical discussion. I'm just looking for a yes or no answer.

To simplify the situation, as to narrow things down.

Dongle configured for pixelnet, sending to a active hub set on pixelnet universe #1.
Now, for sake or arguement, a sequence is running.

Is the pattern of 1's and 0's coming from one of the 16 ports the same as what's coming from  the 2 pixelnet outputs?   Or is the output to the ssc's modified?

they would be the same with a single universe, as the SSC controller is only designed to take its data from the 1st data pair which is universe #1.

With a single usb dongle you would only have data moving thru the 1st pair.  This would work with ONLY 1 active hub on universe #1, if you set it to 2 3 or 4 - you will get no data at all to either the 16 ports or the 2 output ports.

The simple answer is that Pixelnet is NOT modified by the hub.  What is going into the input is what is coming out of the output.  If the hub is set to universe 1, then the signal is the same on pair one of ALL of the ports (except the DMX port obviously).

But is the signal sent to the ssc the same as outputted for that universe?

So, a passive hub can be connected to any of the 18 outputs? 16 active ports, and the 2 pixelnet outputs?

You could but remember that the passive hubs connected to the Pixelnet outputs will only be on universe one.
