[BC] Blue Box...

[Gregg Richwine]

If an Ethernet connection is available, that has been the first choice at the sites the Tielines are used. Home stadium has wired Ethernet in the booth. Nice and reliable.

There are two schools in the conference that are problematic...one has no wired Ethernet jack, and a RJ11 jack fed from a VOIP ATA. Tieline doesn't hold up. The sports guys don't even take the Tieline there anymore...they just use a Remote Mix Sport.

The second school has nothing. Cell service is spotty, no 4G, barely 3G...Remote Mix Sport into a cell phone. Yuck.
