Connect venue audio to KUDO so attendees can receive translated speech and captions on their devices.
Audience: AV/IT.
Before you start
Provide a dedicated computer per translated room, a USB audio interface or capture device, and wired Ethernet. Arrange a direct stage-language audio feed and program video with AV/IT. Video is recommended for AI and required for professional interpreters.
Steps
- Join from the dedicated computer using the Participant link; reserve it for KUDO throughout the event.
- Connect the venue feeds through the audio interface or capture device.
- Confirm attendee Wi-Fi can handle the expected simultaneous audience, including overflow areas.
- Test the Mobile Link, QR code, translated audio, and captions before opening the doors. Encourage headphones.
- Display the meeting QR code and Mobile Link where attendees can access them.
AV handoff and rehearsal
Agree who supplies the room feeds, who operates KUDO, and who checks the translation output. Include a spoken presentation and a prerecorded clip in the rehearsal.
Use computer playback routing for media sources and the onsite equipment and network requirements to validate the venue. Ask KUDO Support to review the deployment if needed.
Onsite Computer Requirements
| Component | Requirement |
|---|---|
| Operating System | Windows 7+ or macOS 10.11+ |
| Processor | Intel Core i7, AMD Ryzen 7, or Apple M1 (or better) |
| Memory | 8 GB RAM minimum |
| Browser | Chrome (preferred), Firefox, or Edge. Safari is not supported. |
| Internet Connection | 20 Mbps download / 10 Mbps upload minimum |

Wi-Fi Network Requirements
Reliable Wi-Fi coverage throughout the venue is essential for a successful multilingual experience. Each attendee receives translated audio and captions directly on their own device, so the wireless network must be capable of supporting the expected number of simultaneous users.
Minimum Requirements
- Wi-Fi 5 (802.11ac) or Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax)
- Dedicated or isolated 5 GHz wireless network
- Access points with 3×3 MU-MIMO antennas or better
- Minimum bandwidth of 48 kbps per attendee
- UDP traffic allowed through the network firewall
- Support for unicast communication
Recommended Best Practices
- Encourage attendees to bring headphones or earbuds for the best listening experience
- Verify Wi-Fi coverage in all attendee areas, including overflow spaces, hallways, and breakout rooms
- Test QR code access and audio streaming before attendees arrive
- Ensure attendee devices can remain charged throughout the event
