Patent attributes
In an automix system of network type, one of control equipment and audio equipment transmits time information data to the network, and the other of the control equipment and the audio equipment receives the time information data to thereby synchronize times with each other between the control equipment and the audio equipment. The audio equipment obtains time information when an operation device is manipulated based on the time information data received from the network and provides an operation event with that time information as a time stamp. The operation event provided with the time stamp is transmitted from the audio equipment to the control equipment via the network. This enables the control equipment to record the operation event with no time lag between the audio equipment and the control equipment.
