User Manual "Streaming Client" - V1.31 - 8. Jan. 2007
The "Streaming Client" firmware was designed for the
professional field: audio bridging, audio distribution, in
store and standalone applications.
It is capable of playing MP3 and WMA files using various
protocols. Up to three sources can be defined (both
streaming over network and playing from a local USB
storage) for streaming with automatic failover.
Thanks to easy remote control and monitoring the
"Streaming Client" firmware can be used on Barix
devices to build a manageable distributed audio network.
The standalone capability (playing from external USB or
internal flash memory, without network connection)
allows the use of the Barix Exstreamer 100 or the Barix
Exstreamer 200 as a simple MP3/WMA player with
automatic start on power up.
