Re: Dshow Control via IPAD
No significant benefits for VENUE VNC. Sometimes builtin firmware is even better in terms of Wi-Fi speed.

Re: Dshow Control via IPAD
Pretty much what Tim said. It turns a $50 router into a $300 router with a nice gui and options to do just about anything with it. I have one running my Profile desk, one for the lighting desk and one at home and I never have had to restart any of them because of problems. The vnc has quite a bit of data that gets transferred through the router and DDWRT is solid enough that it can take it.
One of the things I like to use in DDWRT is the auto channel feature. If there are multiple wi-fi routers it will scan for open channels. Also, you can tweak transmit power. You can also have multiple virtual ssid's which you rarely find in consumer grade routers. |

Re: Dshow Control via IPAD
Got it all working using I teleport and my dlink router....
Although its pretty laggy.... Would ddwrt help that? It seems like changes get to the console fast but the return to the iPad is delayed. I can change a page on my iPad and it happens on the console with no delay, but the reverse takes a few seconds. I knw there was a sticky around somewhere on here about console lag issues debut can't find it. Any help is appreciated. |

Re: Dshow Control via IPAD
That's because VNC needs to send only few bytes to the console to notify about a mouse click, while the console sends back the whole screen contents.

Re: Dshow Control via IPAD
Mackie just posted their video Podcast for their new iPad controlled mixer. This is close to what I envision for a proper Venue iPad app:

In addition to that, you can have features emabled such as Static-DHCP, so you can utalize the flexability of a DHCP network without chasing around IP addresses all the time. With some, you can utalize VLANS, monitor activity of network devices, set rules for certain devices...There are many other features, but these are just a few of my favorites. The first thing I do when buying a new router is load it up with DDWRT first (well, that is a DDWRT compliant router, at least.)

A lot of the lag you are experiencing is from the iPad itself. Granted, you are using VNC on Wifi (which has a lot to do with it). Secondly, the iPads have a sucky Wifi card in them...some thing though you can change in the Advanced Settings (which has helped me) is change Colors to "Hundreds" or lower, whatever you are comfortable dealing with and the Refresh Rate to "Fast Refresh" understanding that this may effect you battery life since it will constantly be sending information to and from the desk.

You may disagree with me, as many do...but I think VENUE did it right with creating a VNC-based remote app. I can access anything on the desk just as I would sitting behind it, just from now an iPad. This does have its limitations, but I cannot envision how else to remotely control a VENUE console better than this way.

If Mackie can do this with a $900 console, it seems that Avid should be able to come up with something. Granted, it may not be that easy or even possible after the fact. I work for a video hardware manufacturer myself and adding major features like that after the fact is not always possible if the initial architecture is established in such a way to make it impossible. It would be nice to know one way or the other though. |

Re: Dshow Control via IPAD
Many Venue users, claim a wifi standalone software, I have the same opinion as Greg C, but we can not doubt the ability of Avid, I guess it's a matter of Time that Avid make a standalone software to control wireless D-show.
Imagine that an engineer sets the delay or other things of the Pa while another engineer prepares the scenes, everything is a matter of imagination, Avid can make realize ours dreams. Excuse my English. |
