2.4GHz spectrum

[norty303]

I'm going to show my ignorance of 2.4Ghz use in theatre/entertainment at this point I'm afraid.

 

I use 2.4Ghz for RC use, and it uses bound Tx and Rx which switch frequencies in the spectrum very quickly, so that any interference encountered in the band is largely irrelevant due to the speed of switching. There have been some interesting graphs on some RC forums showing where congestion is encountered, and where it seems to make no difference in the real world.

 

Does it work the same way for comms? I would imagine that any sort of 'dropped data' in the stream would be quite undesirable, so do comms 'frequency lock' like a pre-selected channel?

I believe it does for the respectable end of Wireless DMX, though there are people here who know more than I on that topic.
