Should be very doable. I know of very similar setups (basically, just KVM/QEMU instead of Xen) that are on the air right now. > Can I use switch on local audio adapter with ASI board? also with Livewire > ASI ? As far as the “computer" side of the ASI6x85 cards, there is nothing special. It’s just an eight input / eight output card. All of the usual ASI features work. > Has anyone used ASI Livewire and use tall 8 outputs in the same time ? Yes. Routine. One caveat: be sure to fire up RDHpiInfo and change the card over to ‘Sixteen Output Streams’ mode. It’ ships from the factory in ‘Eight Output Streams’ mode, which makes running out of play streams more likely when using lots of outputs simultaneously. > Can I send the same input to all 8 outputs? Yes. > With Livewire drivers on gigabit ethernet it works or is The ASI6x85 is essentially a ‘classic’ eight port node as far as the “network" side of things is concerned. Hence, it will work just fine with a 100BaseTX connection. Even when connected to a gigabit port, it will still negotiate a 100BaseTX connection. > If I want to send commands to several stations, what is the right way ?

Sounds like you’ve got covered. > Can a macro execute instantly dozens of such commands or just a few? Nothing is “instant” in this universe (see Einstein _et al_), even though a multi-core CPU with a clock speed in the GHz can make it seem so to humans. Stacking RML into a single macro cart is about as close as one can come in Rivendell. > Is it correct to perform them in the playlist before and at the end of the > event that is intend to switch in the remote stations? Yes, that’s a common idiom. Cheers! |----------------------------------------------------------------------| | Frederick F.
