Why we are all out hear waiting. What change do you think was made to SSC's
I am completely out of the loop, but I will guess nevertheless... :)

I heard something about the active hubs being extended to support dumb strings... so I wonder if SSCs might be part of that solution.  maybe DSCs (dumb string controllers) are on the way to allow the same power-over-cat5 and pixelnet control over dumbstrings... providing only string mode (not hybrid or pixel mode) control.  just a guess with nothing to back it up.

I'd love for an improvement to the fuse situation on the active hubs...

Hubs don't support ANY strings.  That is the job of the controller.  One of the changes is a redesign of the smart string controller to give it more output power.  This does not mean that it will support more nodes.  What thatwill do is give the controller the ability to control some of the more stubborn strings that Ray's controller could contol when the SSC could not.  Another possible option could be a passive 16 port hub.  The difference between an active and a passive hub is active hubs have the DMX output.  There was also the idea of a dumb string controller which is completely different from a smart string but I don't know if RJ even had time to design that one yet.
