Thank you so much for the reply - it has opened my eyes and showed me how far audio has come in the past 10 years.

This is the first time we are looking in to AOIP, and has now become essential in the current environment. Looking at the Dante Via is showing it as an extremely versatile way of connecting anything to anything, so it sounds to me that if the director has a laptop with a built in microphone that would work? Maybe not as reliable as the Radial catapult. With the radial catapult would it be wise for the director to have a mini analogue mixer for his microphone and we could hook it up to the edit suite set of speakers?

Thanks - this is a massive help. uptheoctave
