Sending audio to another PC on the same LAN possible?

Post by ganon11000 » Thu Dec 10, 2015 8:20 am

I am doing a project and needs a speaker to be too far to be connected to a sound desk but could be connected to another machine on LAN running SCS as a receiving device. It is a speaker for a microphone that needs minimal delay (But not ultra low since the face is not seen) Is this something SCS on it's own can do?
I have looked at other solutions like SoundWire, VLC streaming, Airfoil etc.. and would like it to all be in SCS if possible.
If SCS can't do this is there can I use SCS to set off command line commands on the remote PC to run third party software and, should anyone have experiance with this, what software can do this?

If you have an SCS Professional Plus or higher license then you can use Telnet to link together two instances of SCS - one on your main machine and one on the remote machine.

On the remote machine you just have the cues you want to play on that machine, and set up a Cue Control Device / Telnet in Production Properties. On your main machine set up a Control Send Device / Telnet and use Control Send cues to activate the cues on the remote machine.

How you set up the Cue Control and Control Send devices depends on which version of SCS you are using, but for the latest version see the following topics in the Help: Cue Control Devices - Network and Control Send Devices - Network. Note that we provide a 'Remote Device' of 'SCS on another computer'. The remote computer should be set up as a Telnet Server, and the main computer as a Telnet Client. These are the default settings anyway for 'SCS on another computer'.

hi ganon,

have a look to this:
https://www.audinate.com/products/software/dante-via
this software can send audio through ethernet without any special hardware.

regards,
Uwe
