What I want is a spread spectrum wireless standard, so that
interference becomes a non-issue and different manufacturers'
transmitters and receivers can interoperate.
I've thought this was a perfect application for ss
technology myself for quite awhile.
IF there's enough room for ifb etc. as well.
Spread-spectrum is OK for IFB, but NOT for live/sync sound.
There is too much latency. Spread-spectrum implies frequency-
hopping which uses smart controllers to store-n-forward packets
of data, or repeat the data packets if one got clobbered, etc. But
the STORE in store-n-forward makes the link non-real-time.
GOod point, and one I hadn't thought of in this application!

The advantage of this from the remote truck perspective is
that you just pull up with your own receiver rack, set it by
the stage, and pull the feeds off the stage wireless without
having to take splits off the output from the PA guys'
receivers. Amen brother! ANd everybody using the same standards,
so that I don't have to buy this guy's receivers, and this
guy's, and ...
If there were only some way around the latency.

AGreed. sTill glad I don't have to make those purchasing
decisions right now. I"ll rent proximate to the location
for right now if it's a gotta have it thing.
