Dude, I've been struggling so much with setting up and controlling my network for my audio/video productions. One things works, ten things drop out. I found out that the DHCP was reaalllyyyy messing up all IP addresses, but because of it, I could not find said IP addresses. After wachting this vid, I got the GL-A1300 plus, and literally within seconds everything worked. Even the struggles of connecting PZM cams to my video mixer just vanished, all effin' worked! Big big big thank you!!!

Very helpful video -- can you please clarify why "Load Balance" might be unreliable for a live-stream? Is this model-specific or generally? TIA
@djp_video4 ай бұрын
Routers which load balance but do not rely on a back-end services to re-aggregate the data do so by splitting up various data transmissions across multiple connections. And multiple connections means multiple IP addresses are used (one for each connection) and, unless both of those connections are with the same ISP, almost certainly different paths for the data to reach its destination. So even if a hypothetical video streaming protocol could be split up across multiple connections, the chance of that data arriving in the right order in a consistent amount of time across the connections is low, and if the receiving end isn't specifically designed to handle that it pretty much would break things. Existing video streaming protocols weren't designed to handle that. In the real world, many of us use RTMP to stream to most streaming services, and RTMP is based on TCP/IP, which explicitly does not allow a connection to be split across multiple IP addresses. TCP inherently requires that the sending IP address for every packet as part of a connection ("conversation") be the same; it's part of how the conversation is identified. So by its very nature RTMP can't be split across multiple connections without additional help from a service that knows how to split it and re-aggregate it at the receiving end, making it look to all involved in the conversation that that separation and aggregation never took place. That's what bonding services do for us -- the client device splits up packets across available connections, which are all sent in their own wrapper to a proxying server under their control, where it's re-assembled into a single stream of data before being sent out to the public internet from their equipment using one of their IP addresses. Without bonding, it's just not possible to balance the load of an RTMP (or any TCP) connection across multiple internet connections. And even though the other major IP protocol, UDP, doesn't explicitly require that the sending device send every packet from the same IP address, in practice that might as well be a technical requirement. Re-assembling the data at the receiving end would be difficult to do. And even though SRT uses UDP rather than TCP, it still isn't going to handle having its packets of data being split up across multiple connections with multiple IP addresses in a way that would make it useful to do so, even if the receiving server could figure out how to reassemble them. In all likelihood, if someone were to try to split up UDP packets which are all intended to be part of the same session, but without the underlying protcol being designed ot handle that, it would just break it. On top of all of that, most load balancing devices do not even attempt to split up a single "conversation" between a client and server device across its multiple internet connections -- usually quite the opposite, trying to preserve consistency. That would break stuff, and that's the last thing that a vendor would want to deal with -- the technical support load of answering and/or fixing specific protocols in their devices when they don't work as their owners would expect them to. So if you were to start streaming to KZfaq from behind a load balancing router, that entire session with KZfaq would go out on just one of the available connections. The major purpose of load balancing is to make sure that multiple users' traffic is split across multiple connections, not a single session of a single user. It's all more especially true today where security is taking more of a front seat than it used to. It's very common today for servers to use the IP address of a client as one of its signals that a user of their service is who they claim to be and that someone isn't attempting to impersonate them. When a single session bounces across multiple IP addresses, that's very fishy. Google, for example, often requires people to re-authenticate when a client's IP address changes unexpectedly. It happens to me every time I use a VPN service, or my router switches to my backup internet connection when my primary connection becomes unavailable.

I have the Opal connected to an unmanaged switch and nothing else. All my equipment is connected to the switch and not the router. Does that mean that the switch will do all the heavy lifting for LAN traffic like NDI. And the router will only need to handle the traffic going to and from the internet? Is that right? I’m just unsure bc as cool as this thing is, it kind of looks like a cute toy and idk if it’s “powerful” enough to handle NDI.

I purchased a router with wan/lan and wireless connectivity for just this purpose of not having to reconfigure devices at different venues. One of the problems that I have a hard time wrapping my head around is DHCP server and assigning fixed IP addresses from the router. If you're connecting into a venue ethernet connection and that connection is tied to a router that already has DHCP running, you have to do a few things to make assigning fixed IP addresses from the mobile router? I'm such an idiot when it comes to basic networking.
@djp_video Жыл бұрын
Your own LAN will be completely independent of the venue's internet connection, so you can do anything you want on your LAN. Just make sure you're connecting your router's WAN port to the venue, and that all of your devices are connected to your LAN side either directly to your router or through a switch. DHCP should probably be enabled for your own network. If you want to use fixed IP addresses on your own network you can do that, but those addresses should be outside the range assigned by DHCP. For example if your router was at 192.168.0.1 and uses the range from 192.168.0.100 through 192.168.0.199 for DHCP, you can use addresses 192.168.0.2 through 192.168.0.99 for your static IP addresses without worry of creating an IP address conflict. Alternately, instead of static IP addresses, you can use a router's DHCP Reservation feature to pre-assign specific IP addresses to your devices. That gives you the benefit of static IP addresses without the hassle of assigning them manually to each device.

I try a couple different website addresses until the splash page finally comes up. Sometimes rebooting the router helps.

Switches are essentially splitters for Ethernet. They allow you to connect more devices than you can connect directly to your router. Most routers only have a handful of Ethernet ports and the way to connect more devices than you have ports for on your router is to add a switch. The Internet connection in almost all cases is going to be your bottleneck. Unless you're paying for 10Gbps Internet access, your router and switch are going to be much faster than your Internet connection. High-end routers will get you faster WiFi, but in most cases a decent router is going to give you the full speed of your Internet connection for devices connected using Ethernet. The speed of the WiFi radio is the biggest difference between a mid-range and high-end router. If you don't need ultra high speed WiFi, you can get a low-to-midrange router and be fine. But with that said, wired Ethernet is almost always going to feel faster than the fastest WiFi, no matter what the numbers say.

Can you use this router (+ small switch) for portable/travel NDI workflow? Any potential issues? Thanks.
@djp_video Жыл бұрын
NDI wouldn't be passing through this router. NDI usually stays on the local network so it doesn't get handled by a router.

Thanks Doug. This router is not a true bonding option like a Solo or teradek device?
@djp_video Жыл бұрын
No. That would require a back-end service to re-assemble the data packets sent across multiple connections, and therefore probably a subscription.

Is it common for venue networks to allow outside routers? Isn't there a risk of being kicked off the network if they have set up safety measures for this? I just know this wouldn't fly on our campus network...
@djp_video Жыл бұрын
It isn't uncommon. And usually venues will work with you if you're there working with a paying client. Often you just have to tell IT the SSID and BSSID of your WAPs and they will white list your gear.

What switcher are you using with the Router?

In this particular case, the ATEM 2 M/E Constellation HD. But any should work.

Network switch? TP-Link TL-SG1016PE. But, again, it won't matter -- it will work with any switch.

Hallo, ich bin Fotograf. Ich möchte Blackmagic Television Studio Pro 4k kaufen. Ich weiß nicht, ob es gut ist oder hat technische Probleme. Was ist der beste 4k-Mixer? Danke.
@djp_video Жыл бұрын
Answering any "what is the best" question is really hard without knowing your requirements and budget. The Television Studio Pro 4K is an older model and lacks some of the newer features on other ATEM models like recording and streaming and SuperSource, but it does have built-in scalers/frame rate converters. It's still a very capable switcher though.

The "best" is going to cost hundreds of thousands of dollars. I assume that's outside your budget. A very good one that is reasonably priced is the ATEM Constellation 8K.

If that's a priority, you might consider getting either a Slate AX or wait for one of the new Beryl AX verions, which feature WiFi 6. Even better, use an Ethernet cable for the most consistent ping times and transfer rates.

Speedify is not great for streaming. If you want true hot failover or bonding you may as well buy a Peplink router or similar.

@@PopularWebz Streaming is primarily what Speedify gets marketed for. It’s certainly not always flawless, but considering it’s the only software-based bonding solution readily available versus expensive hardware bonding routers or dedicated bonding encoders, from the testing I’ve done it performs very well.

Wait, people are doing this any other way!? Configuring the networking of all their equipment every time all over again!?
@djp_video Жыл бұрын
Of the times that I've worked for other video production companies, 90% of the time that's what I see. But often they don't bother to reconfigure. They'll leave the equipment set on static IP addresses that don't match the subnet of the venue. So each computer connected to the network either gets Internet access, or has access to the equipment, but not both. It's kind of maddening.
@PopularWebz Жыл бұрын
I mean you could have both. Easy to do on a Mac. Windows also supports DHCP+static on the same NIC but you have to drop to the command line unfortunately. But so much easier to use a router.
