Barix devices are ideal for general audio distribution applications.

You can find further information in the below pages:

point to point streaming - this page informs about how to use the products for simple point to point applications (also over the internet)
source to multipoint distribution - a typical application if a source needs to be distributed to multiple buildings, rooms, country sites
multi source, multi destination - audio distribution for hotels, ski areas, venues, theaters etc. some sources and many receives, priorities, source selection at the playout places etc.

More to come - please let us know which further applications you want to get listed here !

-The principle for your system should be as following:
+* [[point to point streaming]] - this page informs about how to use the products for simple point to point applications (also over the internet)
+* [[source to multipoint distribution]] - a typical application if a source needs to be distributed to multiple buildings, rooms, country sites
+* [[multi source, multi destination]] - audio distribution for hotels, ski areas, venues, theaters etc. some sources and many receives, priorities, source selection at the playout places etc.
-a) every source is either

-* 1 using an Instreamer or
-*2  is one "channel" (background music) generated by our MP3_RTP_Streamer software on a PC.
-This is free software, on our website here: http://www.barix.com/downloads/Software_tools/221/
-Documentation is also on the site.
-* 3 you can also use an Exstreamer (!) to generate a radio channel from a file/playlist on a USB stick. With a 4GB USB Stick,
-such a file can be quite long (several days, depending on audio format), and this can be used ideally for a solid state, low power,
-constant stream generator for background music. The software for the Exstreamer is not yet released but we can provide a copy
-to check it out.
-b) Annuncicom has contact closure inputs, and can be set to start streaming on contact closure with a higher priority than the other
-sources (even higher than paging), so all Exstreamer devices will immediately switch to the Annuncicom feed.
-c) Channel selection: channel selection can also be done by multiple means
-*1 using a browser (or iPhone etc), directly controlling the Exstreamer
-*2 using a command interface on the Exstreamer from an automation system (such as Crestron)
-*3 using a remote control with the Exstreamer
-*4 using the VSC (Volume Source Control), connected to the Exstreamer
-*5 using central software (for example, ICGraph)
-ICGraph is a general system monitoring, paging and intercom software. It can be used to control a system as above, switch the channel
-an Exstraemer listens to, make announcements from the PC, work as an intercom console etc. It is *not* generating background music channels,
-that is done by the MP3_RTP_Streamer software.
