Re: [Sursound] any experience with VAC - in multichannel

Jim, I've used VAC, but never for 7.1. Eugene used to be quite helpful, if you reach out to him. I must admin that I largely abandoned VAC in favor of the VB-Audio cables and VoiceMeeter. VoiceMeeter comes in several versions, which support multi-channel devices. Also, Vincent Burel (author)

Stephan, I stand corrected. I'm not political, but I definitely do lean toward open source where possible. The only exposure I've had to EVS is to notice that it's been deployed by T-Mobile USA as a late stage part of their LTE rollout. In contrast, just about everything I use daily is Opus-ca

Perhaps "pinnacle" is a bit of an over statement, but the point is sound. EVS is quite capable, but note that that entire presentation makes no mention of Opus at all. One arises from the 3GPP the other from the IETF. Fundamentally different groups, with very different perspectives. Like AMR be

Chris, Actually, I too come from a broadcast background, having installed graphics systems into production and master controls for over 25 years. I completely appreciate the demand for hard real-time and zero latency. I've tracked Opus since its earliest days in the IETF CODEC working group. Th

The RF issue of range, carrier frequency, channel width is quite separate from the deliverable audio path. The Opus audio codec has revolutionized audio coding. It's able to deliver full-bandwidth audio at bitrates not much more than what was once typical of a telephone call. This means that th

When considering wireless links, there are three domains possible: - Analog - Digital, not IP passed; DECT, BT, proprietary. - Digital, IP-based; Wi-Fi, LTE, Wimax. If latency is the concern I think that non-IP based approaches may have an inherent advantage. Michael Graves mgra...@mstvp.com ht

Agreed. Most of what I think of as the "local signal processing" is quite speedy. Packetization delay is never less than 20 ms. Transmission delay dependent upon the network and distance. Poorly designed network elements lead to buffer bloat, which increases latency dramatically. The very lates

Marc, I'm well and truly intimate with WebRTC. The trouble with IP-based connectivity is then latency involved with packetization. DECT and BT links don't suffer this, but they tend to be bandwidth constrained (especially microphone freq response.) It's surprising that there are very few head
