Source Connect 5.1 - WOW!
Last night I very successfully connected to Vintage King LA for the groundbreaking public demo of Source-Elements plug in "Source Connect 5.1"
We were successfully streaming 5.1 audio at 125Kbsec AAC (what you have been buying on itunes) per mono channel. Our buffers were set at 10ms so communication was instantaneous (well that's 1/4 of a pal frame to you and me). I was controlling the session and Pro Res pictures in LA via remote transport sync and they were hearing my audio accurate to within 8 samples (I believe). We also were also screen sharing so that I could show how I was muting the various stems in real time so we could show that it was a LIVE event and stream and not a set up. In between running the promo demo session in 5.1 I was streaming some stereo music upmixed to 5.1 with TC unwrap. This is groundbreaking and very exciting for us post folk who work in 5.1. I dread to think what the isdn costs would have been for the 2hour link up (x six channels x 2 lines). The plug is still in Beta testing, so watch this space... cheers

Re: Source Connect 5.1 - WOW!
What was your Internet connection? Ethernet over Copper (EoC)? Fiber? Was it the same ISP all the way between point A and point B?

HI Jonathan
Different ISP (mine is a UK only supplier - Virgin) I have fiber 5Mb Up / 125Mb down, no idea about the other end. I had enough bandwidth to send the 160KBsec full monty but I am not sure if the end had enough - we never tested further I had skype open as well in case it suffered any beta issues. cheers

Those speeds are far beyond anything I can afford at my place. NYC is not a friendly place for guaranteed upload speeds.

Re: Source Connect 5.1 - WOW!
We do a lot of hook ups for reviews of shows between Canada, L.A and Dublin. We do it via Isdn and just decode the LtRt. Would be interested to see how stable this is so that we could actually use the discrete 5.1. I guess it really is down to everyone's ip. So are the source connect/pro tools HD issues sorted?

Curious, why run it as a standalone on a separate computer? Stability? Ram allocation? So far, no troubles running it as a standalone on the same computer here.

That's another, though I don't think we would have a problem if it was on the same rig. Our rigs have 8GB of RAM. One of the reasons is so that we can treat it like an ISDN. In terms of functionality and scheduling, that's really what it is. For our workflow, we are best served this way.

Jeez..
Here in Sweden at work we have dual redundant 100mb fiber connections for under 1000 USD/month (upgrading to 500mb soon). At home I have 100mb fibre for 50 USD/month. |

It costs 5x that in NYC.
