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
              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

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
