Hi,

is there a way of controlling the LS9 via the Interweb?

I'm thinking Festival, irate locals/officials, turning up at site
peripherals or even local abodes with ipad or laptop/mobile phone internet,
and dialling out the 80 Hz rattling their windows.

(I will have a local ipad controlling the LS9 anyway)

Cheers,

Gareth.

Anything you can do on the LAN you can do on a WAN so long as you know how to do port forwarding on your router and you know the outside IP address assigned by the ISP to your network. You basically route requests for the particular ports your remote application and the LS9 need to operate to the specific internal IP address your LS9 is assigned to. All this works best if both your network's external address to the outside world and your internal addresses are static. That way if something gets power cycled you don't have to worry about the address changing like they can on a DHCP network. This soft of thing usually costs more from you ISP. That said, you can do it with dynamically assigned IP addresses too. You just have to know what they are and keep your fingers crossed nothing happens to change them while you're working.

Keep in mind there will be a lot more latency driving your desk over the internet compared to LAN since you're bouncing packets all over the place instead of just within the local network.

Thanks.

So does that mean I can link a mobile phone to the ipad controlling the LS9,
go a mile away with my laptop and another mobile phone, and run the LS9 from
a mile away?

(There will be no wi-fi internet in a festival field)

What software can remotely connect such a Windows 8 laptop with the ipad?
Has anyone ever done this?

This looks like it might work ....

Except if you phone Teamviewer as I have just done, the iphone and ipad apps
don't actually work. Apparently only one way communication is currently
possible.

What's the point of that then?

I don't believe you can "remote" into an iPad connected to the LS9. You need to connect a computer running Stage Manager that's connected to the LS9. You can then use a VNC client/server setup to remote control the computer running Stage Manager. You can then use a computer or tablet/smartphone to remote into Stage manager. For my iPhone and iPad, I use iTeleport VNC client to remote control Avid Venue mixers which already have a VNC client running on them. There are a variety of free Windoze VNC clients available you run on your Stage Manger PC. Mac OS already has VNC control built into their sharing setup if you decide to use a Mac to connect to the LS9 directly. There is a Mac version of Studio Manager too.
