[QUOTE="Chris Johnson, post: 90730, member: 975"] Re: Combining many devices on one network In short, this is totally possible. The event industry is practically in the stone age when it comes to data transmission compared to other industry sectors (Broadcast, for one) and the communications industry as a whole. I, as part of the work I do with large scale communications systems, often provide IP infrastructure for Audio, Video and other data transmissions. You do need to think about the nature of the network traffic being combined, and consider redundancies where necessary, but it can be done cheaply. For control data (like monitoring radio mics, remoting into consoles, etc..) which is not mission-critical, combining it with a sensible IP and subnetting scheme is simple and easy. If you are also considering combining mission critical data streams (like art net, Dante, etc..) then you need to be more careful. However, web-managed switches that support VLANing are crazy cheap these days. A pair can be had for less than the cost of 100m of decent quality cat5 cable on a drum. [/QUOTE]
