Instreamer Standard Firmware

The Instreamer Standard Firmware makes the streaming of audio over IP net- works smooth and easy. 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 . Supporting peer-to- peer connections with other Barix devices, the software can also be used for integration into wide audio infrastructures with Shoutcast or 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

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

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.

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. Whenever the audio streamis interrupted, a priority list switches to the next configured source. Store&Play firmware supports Barimon subscription based service for centralized monitoring. Store&Play is the safe solution from Barix to ensu- re consistent audio playback!

Redundix Solution

Redundix by Barix is a solution that improves the quality of an RTP stream link using two mechanisms. The first is time-diverse routing, where the same audio stream is sent twice over the same link, immediately on encoding, and also time-delayed. The second is path divergent routing, where two streams are sent using separate networks.

At the receiving point, all streams are buffered and combined into one final „repaired“ stream. Redundix by Barix will cope with problems of the network infrastructure, including glitches, unreliable connections or even brief inter- ruptions. Studio Transmission and Syndication | 43
