Thank you Roger but I dont believe it's a bandwith issue. The syncdata is
simple UDP timecode values.
Should be of any interest in a gigabit network.
I think I need a reverse-proxy that enables a second broadcast port. Or
some kind of tunneling.
The command is posted in my first posting. Anyone having another idea?
Thanks for help.
