[Avid-L2] Re: Interesting NAB Discoveries X-Keys

 

Good to know.  I was intrigued by the thought of having a Cat 6 Cable take the place of a big mic snake.  Obviously there would be a need on stage to convert everything into the Dante stream of data but I'd bet that equipment isn't as big and bulky as the mic snakes I've had occasion to deal with.  That being said there is a dependability to the old analogue methods that makes troubleshooting easier in my mind.  Also if one cable goes bad in a mic snake it's relatively easy to fix and not catastrophic to the live production whereas losing the Dante stream would mean losing the whole system of audio and that would not be good.  Still very cool technology I was not familiar with.

Found several audio transport options with Dante being the most interesting to me.  Over Cat 5e you can control audio devices and send a lot of audio channels bi directionally.

The device control may be proprietary.  While there is a standard for network audio transport (AES67), there is no AES standard for controlling AES67 devices.
