    Are your LEDs chipped? (i.e. WS2811, WS2801, ect) It doesn't sound like they are. Your strip wire connections should be PWR,DATA,GROUND or PWR,DATA,CLOCK,GROUND.

    MM does support Multiple Universes.

    Do a search here and you'll find a lot of information on DMX Decoders & Encoders.
    If you want something supported by GarageCube & 1024, look at the Enttec devices with a DMX Decoder.
    I've been more interested in the Arduino method that combines the Encoder and Decoder into one device, but not to much support out there for it.

    I am using chipped Led strip with the name of WS2811 and WS2801, i am using exactly same dmx decoder as the one you use. Only the enttec converter is a similar fake one that made in china.http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?spm=a1z ... mm3h5ff6fd

    when i connect whole things together, still no any positive result. i could only light up the WS2801 for only one time with only the red light on the strip. help me please!

    @kinksid
    the led strip looks like the digital ones, are you trying to use a digital leds strip with that controller?
    if yes it could never work....

    @axistudio
    chipped leds are also called digital leds strips....
    you can´t control them with this kind of controller because its only a dimmer for regular leds strips!
