Monitor / Remote

[D.Dar-Nell]

Hey guys, any way you can link a laptop running Remote / Monitor to the Frog 2 with a Ethernet cable and miss out the Wi-Fi ? Logic says yes as its still the same protocol. But when I tried it, it said disconnected and some error.

 

Wi-Fi in my theatre is not wonderful, things seem to interfere with it, if I can take a laptop down onto stage and use the building wired network point, would save me a lot of running up and down to and fro the control room.

 

 

 

Many Thanks

Hi Daniel,

 

There is no reason why this won't work.

 

If it's a direct link you will need to use a crossover cable, and ensure that the first 3 parts of the IP address match on your laptop and on the console, with the subnet mask of 255.255.255.0

 

Hope this helps,
