Could Pixelmad control up to 60 Universes of DMX?

That is right. Unicast is much better than broadcast.
However it depends who's ArtNet boxes you're using. Our Ethernet-DMX8 can cope with up to 100 universes in broadcast (actually never done a test above).
But as unicast is possible, it is always better, because many devices don't have that processing power to process all the data, to check if it is a universe they have to output.

i dont think some of the artnet boxes can even run 10 universes @ 25fps without halting. let alone 100!.
They just dont seem to expect this amount of data.

Indeed, that is where we make the difference ;-)
A lot of processing power on board to handle a large amount of broadcast data.
