I need some more returns to the stage. Probably 2 for live monitors and maybe a cpl for I
ear mixes. Rather than going for wired solutions, could u get the latency low enough on
netjack to not be a nuisance over wireless? I could also run a single cat 5e or 6 and gig
ports too I suppose. Easier than running 4 + shielded pair in this particular instance.
Have several older laptops laying about.
Is anyone doing something similar to success?
At work I've been using zita-njbridge with the default 10 ms buffering
over a wireless LAN. I don't think this can be repeated easily (I'm
working at Huawei Research so networks can be assumed to be performing
well). OTOH using a Cat6 cable and decent NICs this should just work.
Latency may still be too high for in-ear monitoring.
Thanks Fons,
I understand. I'm not too worried about the network side of stuff. I've a variety
of gear and have a long background associated to network infrastructure. Is < 10ms
possible in a stable fashion using the netjack and your zita bridge? Even half that might
be ok. It's a small stAge and room is mostly brick (from 1886!!) with wood floor n
ceiling. Some xtra minor 'slap back' might be tolerable given difficulty hearing
on stage next to a bloody drum kit & guitar amps!
Thnx,
