Hey guys,
nice discussion and I can see some good points in NTP as well.

However I would like to have PTP. I think this will become a more and more important and some kind of the next timeclock. Broadcasters already try IP based workflows and their using this protocol to sync the equipment. With PTP you could not only keep the time in sync, the clock in the entire network would be consistent.

By the way: I think Dante is using this protocol or part of this as well…

Hey Bill,
I’m technical engineer in our local church and we are using up to 4 IP6 controller on stage for mix control. It’s working quite well and the musicians are very happy having their own mix right on hand. In addition some use their iPad to control the monitor mix and we have a small “FOH” with an IP8 and 22” Touch monitor running the director software. Working great so far!
By the way: I definitely recommend this over the ME solution because you have always direct access to the mixes. 🙂

Easy way to configure the right controller mix:
Go to MixRack -> controllers -> quick setup -> then left click on ”setup”

Referring to POE: Be ware that the IP8 controller needs POE+! The IP6 are less power hungry and work with “normal” POE.

And last: You need to use the network port on the dlive; not the gigaace – that’s only for surfaces 😉

I really should have read this before… 🙁
I’ve updated today and run in exactly that problem… and yes only workaround is to connnect the IP8 directly to the MixRack

really disapointing…
