Audits and fault-finding
Find out why it drops out, and fix the cause, not the symptom.
A fault on air is rarely where it appears. Clicks that look like a bad cable can be a clock problem, and a dropout that looks like the network can be a gain or grounding issue. We measure first, find the actual cause, and give you a fix list in priority order.
Clock and sync diagnosis: who is the leader, who is following, and where devices lose lock or flip between clock masters.
Review of switch settings for IGMP snooping, the querier, and multicast flooding that swamps slower ports.
Packet capture and analysis of loss, latency and jitter against what each stream format tolerates.
Gain structure, grounding and RF interference checks along the path, from microphone to transmission.
A documentation gap analysis and a fix list ranked by risk to air, not by ease.
Network and IP addressing plan
VLANs, subnets, multicast ranges and switch roles, with an equipment IP list.
Clocking and PTP design
Grandmaster and boundary-clock placement, failover behaviour and monitoring points.
Signal-flow and patch documentation
Block diagrams, patch panel schedules and Dante channel assignment sheets.
