[QUOTE="Dan Mortensen, post: 104504, member: 2826"] Re: Interface cards - Airport Extreme Hi Timo, Glad you enjoyed seeing it, but not sure what you mean by "not very portable". The whole business travels in a Gator 1813 case [ATTACH=CONFIG]152728.vB5-legacyid=8043[/ATTACH] with a yardstick for reference. When opened [ATTACH=CONFIG]152729.vB5-legacyid=8044[/ATTACH] The various bits are inside: stands and AC cords on top, iPads stacked on the left below, an Ethafoam spacer and Monoprice chargers (not visible) on the right. If you've seen my other pictures of two iPads in use on the doghouse of a Gator X32 case, you've seen some clamps holding the stands to the case. Those are in there, too. In the pic of the three iPad and no mixer setup, the stands were on a couple of speaker cases with no opportunity to clamp, so I used a couple of Atlas micstand bases sitting on all three stand bases. The stands [ATTACH=CONFIG]152730.vB5-legacyid=8045[/ATTACH] are these guys from Monoprice [URL="http://www.monoprice.com/products/product.asp?c_id=108&cp_id=10843&cs_id=1084305&p_id=8263&seq=1&format=2"]HDMI Cable, Home Theater Accessories, HDMI Products, Cables, Adapters, Video/Audio Switch, Networking, USB, Firewire, Printer Toner, and more![/URL] which are reasonably priced IMHO and pretty flexible to use. With the iPad cases on, the iPad does not fit in the top holders, so I just set them on the bottom holders and keep an eye on them. If you were worried about the iPads walking away, you'd want to have no covers on them, and fit them in all four holders. If you were talking about portability to carry the whole mess around with you, then no, it's not portable as a group but you just grab one iPad and go off and do your thing. I don't carry an entire analog console around the venue with me, either. Don't know about stable, since as was pointed out adding more WiFi broadcasting to a space makes it harder not easier. OTOH, with the WiFi spectrum so cluttered in the places I work anyway, you are in tough shape if adding two channels to the sometimes dozens already there is the straw that breaks the camel's back. Where more routers will be a benefit is in backup for the console control system and helping to identify where a connection problem is occurring. Thanks, Dan PS Thanks, Jan, for the tip about the minifaders/meters using unnecessary bandwidth. [/QUOTE]
