Event Tech
Identify the socket.
Read switch announcements for the switch name, port and advertised VLAN details. Capture permissions are required; silent or unmanaged switches may not provide this information.
KNOW THE NETWORK.
FIND THE CONNECTION.
Network investigation for AV, events, venue and IT crews. Find switch announcements, discover devices and follow the traffic reaching your laptop.
From an unfamiliar socket to useful answers.
Connect a laptop to a wired network, select the adapter and investigate the connection in one application. Identify the connected switch and port when LLDP or CDP announcements are available, find responding devices, check Dante discovery and watch incoming OSC messages.
The application is called ProSight in the beginner’s guide. ProSightX is its GitHub project.
2.1.0 / Pre-release
Windows & macOS
Standalone downloads for Windows 10/11 (x64), macOS 12+ on Apple Silicon and Intel Macs. This is the first cross-platform pre-release; run the built-in self-test before using it on site.
Find responding devices.
Scan a local subnet or address range for live hosts. See IP addresses, names and vendor details where available.
Find the audio devices.
Browse discoverable Dante devices on the connected network. Clearly labelled offline demo data is for practice, not evidence of a live device.
Follow show control.
Listen on a chosen UDP port to inspect incoming OSC addresses, values and message rates.
Check the local link.
Take a short sample of adapter speed, utilisation, errors and discards. Available counters depend on the operating system.
Watch what changes.
Follow connection statistics over time with a rolling graph, useful during soundchecks and intermittent faults.
Load and Monitor describe the selected laptop connection, not the entire network. Use active scanning only on networks you are authorised to test.
