Newish comm system - Green Go Comm
« on: Aug 13, 2012, 01:46 pm »
Looks promising, Green Go  newbielink:http://www.greengocom.com/contactus.html [nonactive]
Has anyone used it? Got answers to the following?

This looks very interesting. Too bad the website is lacking any real information. The quick setup paper is about it.
I haven't used it, yet. What I wonder is:
1. What they consider low latency?
2. What is the effect of poor QoS Ethernet, esp if some of the system is connected by WiFi
3. Is there a way to program it off line? No info on site but there seems to be some talk of a laptop.
4. Can beltpacks be cloned? I will really need to know this for a 3000+ beltpack system.
5. Can the setup be saved?
6. What is the audio BW?
7. PoE has limited current supply. Maybe they should recommend some switches or hubs which can support 30+ beltpacks on a string.
8. Can you Y the signal without a hub, like Helixnet?
9. Each BP has a loop thru switch - too bad it isn't 3 port.
10. Do I need to program at each BP or master station or can I do it over the net. This id really the crux.
Master station with only 32 switches is not adequate for the Olympics but fine for most shows.

Haven't heard of this as of yet.  The PoE raises a few flags for me as well,  though perhaps the current supply would not be an issue depending on the power requirements of the packs?  I don't see any information on their spec sheet that would detail power consumption.  I suppose another option would be a PoE injector, however that's simply an added failure point and not the most robust solution.

I deal with these types of systems at my job, but I've never in my life heard of this company or system.

GreenGo is a subdivision of ELC IIRC - they are moderately big in DMX distribution - especially the artnet space.
