Stream From Function
Prime Wireless Pro products have the ability to capture audio from one of their wired audio inputs (Line in, HDMI, or
Optical) and then redistribute it through a Play-Fi group. This is called "Stream From", and devices paired together
streaming from another input source are called a "Stream From" Zone.
1. To initiate a "Stream From" Zone, simply select Stream From on the start screen.
a. After selecting the product, if it has more than one audio input, you'll be able to select
which one you'd like as the source.
b. Once you're ready to go, just tap the Start button (image), and the app will send all the
information over to the host product so that it can configure the zone.
c. The app automatically remembers your last configuration, so that you can start
streaming quickly the next time.
Note: Some routers with lower connection speeds, and certain mesh networks may not support the Stream-from
function. Contact the SVS Sound Experts for more information.
Setting Up DTS Play-Fi Multi-Zone Streaming
When additional Prime Wireless products are added, Play-Fi supports streaming different audio to different rooms or
zones, directly from the Play-Fi app. For example, you can send Pandora downstairs for a dinner party, and keep Radio
Disney playing upstairs for the kids.
1. To set up a new zone while playing a current zone, open the Play-Fi Start screen by pressing the
Play-Fi button in the app and then pressing the + (plus) button in the bottom right corner of the
now playing screen.
2. The Start screen shows what zones are playing and what zones are available to choose.
3. To add another zone, simply choose the Pro SoundBase you want to play to and follow the app
prompts to choose your music and start playing. (image 16a).
i. You can select between the content type, which includes a 'Music' mode that
uses DTS Play-Fi's lossless streaming method with a buffer to prioritize audio
playback integrity, or a 'TV Audio' mode which removes the buffer and makes
use of premium DTS codecs to reduce latency and prioritize lip-sync when
streaming video content.
ii. Lastly, you'll be able to select the additional Play-Fi products to join to the
"Stream From" Zone.
