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

 

I am old school...

Wouldn't want someone next door using an old cordless phone, or the thousands of fans at a show to jam my wifi signal on all the audio feeds from the stage to the sound board.  Or worse yet, a malicious anarchist with a jammer.

Give me a wire every time.  At least someone has to find and cut that wire.

Given that the audio is now a single multiplexed stream I wonder how soon we can expect a wireless version - even if it takes a couple of wifi streams to get the speed... No wires appeals to me a lot more than 1 wire.

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.
