Hi! I am wondering what best practice is for a Streamdeck to PA 1U? MD here working with a limited budget. Building a redundant playback rig for the first time and really trying to put this together right if I can! The Stream Deck would be controlled by my drummer so I’m trying to craft the cleanest solution.
Are there many people rocking a Stream Deck? I like the idea of tactile button to visual feedback but I worry about connecting the deck to one computer → Ablenet in my redundancy set up. Is this the common approach for people? My fear is it eliminates the fail-safe of Computer B but perhaps someone could put my mind at ease.
I’ve looked into doing a Raspberry Pi > Companion → Switcher as well but there doesn’t seem to be much talk about doing it this way. A bit out of my depths I suppose. Feels pretty straightforward to program but I don’t know how reliable a Pi is with my limited experience.
Are iPads on Ethernet the cleanest / most popular choice for controller w realtime feedback? Asking a lot here I know but any thoughts would be so appreciated. Would love to just hear how more people are going about it, thanks!
