JACK_NETSOURCE(1)           General Commands Manual          JACK_NETSOURCE(1)

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 opus 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
              Number of audio capture 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

       -b bitdepth
              Set transport to use 16bit or 8bit

       -P kbits
              Use Opus encoding with <kbits> per channel

       -m mtu
              Assume this mtu for the link

       -R N
              Redundancy: send out packets N times.

       -e
              skip host-to-network endianness conversion

       -N jack name
              Reports a different client name to jack

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

       -h, --help
              Display help/usage message

       -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
