Unityintercom.com is in the development phase of a new, as yet unreleased, product called Unity Connect.  They will announce it at NAB this year and then will have pricing info.

It is a 64 channel bi directional program to send audio or voice from one source to many or from many sources to one over the internet with latency as low as 10ms.   I am using it this week for a fashion show at MSG and sending 3 channels of my Riedel Intercom to the Unity server off site.

I am posting this on the audio forum since I think that is where it may arouse the most interest but I am currently using it to get 4 wire circuits from my live events into the Unity Intercom in this post:

Since a video is worth a billion words: watch this

this is EXTREMELY interesting for the type of work i'm doing right now.  I look forward to anything else you can add to the information you've already shared.

Unity is starting to look like a VERY interesting company to watch in this space in the future.

So, does it play nice at 48k yet?

The Unity connect does and I am told if you connect 48K to Unity intercom it will work too.  I have not had a chance to try it at 48 yet.

Do you know what latency the system adds to the IP connection latency? (eg. how your audio latency differs from, say, a ping response time)

In your screenshot above, it says the link latency was 2.4ms, so presumably your server was geographically close?

What happens to the system when the link latency changes? How much buffer do you have, and is that user-configurable?

There is a fixed jitter buffer set in the incoming screen, so that's a fixed amount.  Real total latency is continuously displayed for each direction in the software and often you can lower the jitter if it's too big.  to maintain channel phase the jitter buffer is not dynamic.  if you are getting lost packets increase it.  audio sync is not necessarily the same bidirectionally.

Very cool. I've always wanted VIA to work this way so I can (for example) send a backstage feed via wireless to a laptop in the production office.
