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 pe-
     riod 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
