1 Introduction
1.1 About the “Streaming Client” firmware
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 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 player with automatic start on power up.
