NAME

       jack_netsource - Netjack Master client for one slave

SYNOPSIS

       jack_netsource [ -H hostname ] [ options ]

DESCRIPTION

       jack_netsource  The  Master  side of a netjack connection. Represents the slave jackd -dnet in the master
       jack graph.  Most connection parameters are configured via the netsource, and the slave will  set  itself
       up according to the commandline option given to jack_netsource.
       Netjack  allows  low latency audio connections over general IP networks. When using celt for compression,
       it is even possible to establish transatlantic links, with latencies not much over the actual ping time.
       But the main usecase is of course a LAN, where it can achieve one jack period of latency.

OPTIONS

       -h this help text

       -H slave host
              Host name of the slave JACK

       -o num channels
              Number of audio playback channels

       -i num channels

       -O num channels
              Number of midi playback channels

       -I num channels
              Number of midi capture channels

       -n periods
              Network latency in JACK periods

       -p port
              UDP port that the slave is listening on

       -r reply port
              UDP port that we are listening on

       -B bind port
              reply port, for use in NAT environments

       -m mtu
              Assume this mtu for the link

       -R N
              Redundancy: send out packets N times.

       -e

       -N jack name
              Reports a different client name to jack

       -s, --server servername
              Connect to the jack server named servername

       -v, --version
              Output version information and exit

EXAMPLES

       run a 4 audio channel bidirectional link with one period of latency and no midi channels. Audio  data  is
       flowing uncompressed over the wire:
       On hostA:

              jackd -d alsa
              jack_netsource -H hostB -n1 -i4 -o4 -I0 -O0

       On hostB:

              jackd -d net
