The software converts any audio signal into G.711, PCM or high-quality MP3 streams and can send the stream to up to 32 dif- ferent destinations across the LAN or over the internet. Supporting peer-to- peer connections with other Barix devices, the software can also be used for integration into wide audio infrastructures with Shoutcast or Icecast servers. Simple web and command interfaces makes the firmware configurable and the audio stream can be adjusted to the network bandwidth, set to send on CTS, on level or send always. Two physical ports are available (Ethernet/Se- rial), and with the BRTP protocol the application can communicate with other Barix devices on secured networks. Together with the Instreamer device, the firmware is an easy-to-install and cost-effective solution for professional audio streaming. Live Encoding | 7 FEATURES: Preloaded on: Instreamer Supported codecs: MP3 (VBR/CBR), PCM Works on: Annuncicom PS1 Supported stream connections: HTTP, RTP, SIP, Annuncicom PS16 Raw UDP, Raw TCP, Icecast and Icecast ID3 Annuncicom 60 Annuncicom 100 source, Shoutcast source Annuncicom 155 Up to 32 BRTP streams at 128kbit/s Annuncicom 200 Supports Serial Port relaying (Serial gateway Annuncicom 1000 Exstreamer 500 over Network) Streaming can be set to send always, send on CTS, send on Level, or manually via web interface Supports SNMP protocol for monitoring device The device can serve up to 6 concurrent HTTP radio streams or 8 UDP/RTP streams Supports all General Purpose Inputs (GPIs) on the Exstreamer 1000, Exstreamer 500 and Annuncicom 1000. The Inputs are used either to trigger streaming or to send contact closures to a partner device with SW loaded capable of decoding the information 8 | Live Encoding Background music in shops, restaurants and bars Live music broadcast for events Speeches at schools, universities and churches Live announcements Internet radio reception Exstreamer / Streaming Client The Streaming Client Firmware turns Barix Exstreamer devices into professi- onal network audio players, supporting MP3, G.711, PCM and other formats. The Streaming Client software enables a wide range of audio transport and background music applications. A three level priority setup ensures continous audio in case one source fails. Failover sources include other URL addresses or content on a locally connected USB storage. The firmware can easily be integrated into an existing infrastructure with a command or web interface. Several tools are built in, such as priority port setting for emergency calls and finetuning of the decoding speed to adapt to the encoded stream. Ba- rix realtime transport protocol (BRTP) enables the receiver device to open a pull session over secured networks, and maintain a continuous audio stream from a Barix Encoder to locations without a fixed IP address. Channel swit- ching can be done via command interface or IR remote control device, which makes the application easy to use for retail outlets, bars and restaurants. Live Encoding | 9 FEATURES: Plays MP3/AAC+ streams from network (HTTP, RTP, BRTP) and M3U playlists (HTTP and local) G.711 and PCM raw support in RTP/BRTP Supports authentication (HTTP, Shoutcast, Icecast) Shoutcast meta-data displayed on hardware featuring LCD Autoplay functions plays all audio files inside USB/microSD without playlist (standalone mode) Relay control (if available on hardware) & Priority notification port Allows centrally managed update of firmware, configuration and local contents (via HTTP) Decoding correction allows fine tuning of the playback speed Monitoring using SNMP and Barimon (HTTP, UDP) Command interface via Serial, TCP, UDP, HTTP (CGI) Supports proxy server (HTTP proxy support) Remote control support via API and IR (IR device dependent) Serial gateway to transmit RS232 data to a remote location Preloaded on: Exstreamer 1xx Shoutcast metadata or commands can trigger the Exstreamer 2xx playback of local audio files Exstreamer 500 User Interface Development Kit for customization Exstreamer P5 Exstreamer 205 features a line input for passing audio from an external device (portable MP3 player) VSC-Panel 10 | Live Encoding Live streaming to mobile phones Museum guidance with mobile phone or other devices Listening to music while working out in the gym Audibility support for hearing impaired Audio Signage Solution Audio Signage is a smart solution by Barix to evolve the possibilities of Di- gital Signage. The audio stream of any TV channel can be sent over a WiFi connection to the customer’s smartphone to enable an intimate entertain- ment of the customer without disturbing the business environment with music or sound. The Barix Audio Signage App can be downloaded from the Apple and Google App store, and can be used together with earphones or loudspeakers to listen to the audio. When different audio channels are avai- lable, the Audio Signage Info Server Application can be loaded onto a Barix Exstreamer Store&Play device to show the channel information on the Audio Signage App. The network traffic and number of users must be kept in eye as a critical factor. Barix provides an application, with note and configuration file, for the Huawai AP5130DN Access Point, to configure the WiFi signal into a unicast stream and reach better audio quality. Live Encoding | 11 FEATURES: Low-latency streaming to cell phone app Single channel or multi-channel support Automatic recognition and dynamic listing of available channels Audio Format: PCM / 24kHz 16bit mono Option to integrate audio signage functionality within customer apps Optional QR code to select the channel IOS and Android compatible Customizable logo on the App Easy configuration Works on: Instreamer Exstreamer Store&Play MOVING AUDIO FROM A TO B 14 | Moving Music from A to B Retail in-store music Music on hold Looped messaging for kiosks and salespoints Background music for hotels, restaurants, SPA’s Store & Play The Store&Play application supports a distributed audio management for companies with multiple sites. Playlists and audio files are stored on a cen- tralized FTP or HTTP server, where they are maintained offline, and where they can be downloaded by the remote playback devices at a scheduled time. This download mechanism enables an administrator to choose best time slot on network in case the network is overloaded or not reliable. The audio files are stored in the internal memory of a Barix Store&Play Exstrea- mer or on a connected USB device. Additionally to these sources an internet radio stream can be configured with a buffer time of one minute.

    IP Audio Coding with Introduction to BRIC Technology 2 Introduction by Tom Hartnett—Comrex Tech Director

    IP Audio Coding With Introduction to BRIC Technology 2 Introduction By Tom Hartnett—Comrex Tech Director In 1992, when ISDN was just becoming available in the US, Comrex published a Switched 56/ISDN Primer which became, we were told, a very valuable resource to the radio engineer struggling to understand these new concepts. As POTS codecs and GSM codecs became viable tools, Comrex published similar primers. Now, with the gradual sunsetting of ISDN availability (and the migration of phone networks to IP based services), it not only makes sense for us to introduce a product based on Internet audio transfer, but again to publish all the relevant concepts for the uninitiated. The ACCESS product is the result of years of our research into the state of IP networks and audio coding algo- rithms. This has all been in ISDN is not a long term solution. the quest to do what we do The telephone network is changing. best, which is to leverage existing, available services Transition to IP is inevitable. to the benefit of our core Resistance is futile. customers—radio remote broadcasters. The heart of this product is called BRIC (Broadcast Reliable Internet Codec). While others have introduced hardware coined “IP Codecs,” this is the first product introduced that dares to use the wordInternet with a capital I. Given the challenges the public Internet presents, it’s no small boast to say that this product will perform over the majority of available connections. BRIC represents a change that is both desirable and inevitable for remotes. This change is inevitable because, as available connections move from old fashioned circuit switched to newer packet switched style, technology like ISDN and POTS codecs will begin to work less and less often.

    Low-Latency Audio Over IP on Embedded Systems

    Master Thesis Low-Latency Audio over IP on Embedded Systems by Florian Meier Start date: 02. April 2013 End date: 02. October 2013 Supervisor: Dipl.-Ing. Marco Fink Supervising Professor: Prof. Dr.-Ing. habil. Udo Zölzer Second Examiner: Prof. Dr. rer. nat. Volker Turau Abstract Transmission of audio data over networks, such as the Internet, is a widespread technology. Up to now, the primary application is voice trans- mission (Voice over IP). Although modern Voice over IP systems are de- signed to reduce the audio latency, it is still too high for the bidirectional transmission of live music. The construction of a low-latency music envi- ronment would enable distributed musical performances and "Jamming over IP". This thesis takes a step in this direction by building an Audio over IP system as an embedded system. All components needed for a jam- ming session over the Internet are integrated in a handy box on the basis of a Raspberry Pi. This required the development of a Linux kernel driver. Furthermore, a software for low-latency audio transmission is build and evaluated, considering audio quality, data rate, and the reduced computa- tional power of the embedded system. iii iv Declaration by Candidate I, FLORIAN MEIER (student of Informatik-Ingenieurwesen at Hamburg University of Tech- nology, matriculation number 20836390), hereby declare that this thesis is my own work and effort and that it has not been submitted anywhere for any award.

    Implementing Audio-Over-IP from an IT Manager's Perspective

    Implementing Audio-over-IP from an IT Manager’s Perspective Presented by: A Partner IT managers increasingly expect AV systems to be integrated with enterprise data networks, but they may not be familiar with the specific requirements of audio-over-IP systems and common AV practices. Conversely, AV professionals may not be aware of the issues that concern IT managers or know how best to achieve their goals in this context. This white paper showcases lessons learned during implementations of AoIP networking on mixed-use IT infrastructures within individual buildings and across campuses.
