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 forintegration into wide audio infrastructures with Shoutcast or Icecast servers.Simple web and command interfaces makes the firmware configurable andthe audio stream can be adjusted to the network bandwidth, set to send onCTS, on level or send always. Two physical ports are available (Ethernet/Se-rial), and with the BRTP protocol the application can communicate with otherBarix devices on secured networks. Together with the Instreamer device,the firmware is an easy-to-install and cost-effective solution for professionalaudio streaming.

A three level priority setup ensures continousaudio in case one source fails. Failover sources include other URL addressesor content on a locally connected USB storage. The firmware can easily beintegrated into an existing infrastructure with a command or web interface.Several tools are built in, such as priority port setting for emergency callsand finetuning of the decoding speed to adapt to the encoded stream. Ba-rix realtime transport protocol (BRTP) enables the receiver device to open apull session over secured networks, and maintain a continuous audio streamfrom a Barix Encoder to locations without a fixed IP address. Channel swit-ching can be done via command interface or IR remote control device, whichmakes the application easy to use for retail outlets, bars and restaurants.

The first is time-diverse routing, where the sameaudio stream is sent twice over the same link, immediately on encoding, andalso time-delayed. The second is path divergent routing, where two streamsare 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 networkinfrastructure, including glitches, unreliable connections or even brief inter-ruptions.
