The Exstreamer M400 provides an unbalanced line level output ( nominal at 0dBu), to be connected to a mixer, a DSP, an amplifier, etc. Installation STEP 1 Connect the Audio Equipment The Barix Exstreamer M400 is an audio over IP decoder with a line-level output on stereo RCA connections. Power Supply Unit (depends on the PN purchased) ![]() Refer to the IP Audio Client user manuals ( Standard Mode - AES67 Mode) for a complete explanation on the software functionalities. At the end of this guide the user will be able to run a basic setup and have an audio stream playing.Įxstreamer M400 runs the IP Audio Client software. The scope of this document is to give a thorough introduction on the Exstreamer M400. Note, don`t use two times the same port number one the same Exstreamer !Please make sure to first read the safety information in order to avoid hazards. The Instreamer could send the RAW UDP stream also to the Exstreamer`s “UDP Priority Streaming Listen Port”. Streaming / “UDP Streaming Listen Port” = 3030 Streaming / “Stream to” = RAW UDP : (Exstreamer´s IP) : 3030 Note, don`t use two times the same port number one the same Exstreamer ! The Instreamer could send the RAW TCP stream also to the Exstreamer`s “TCP Priority Streaming Listen Port”. Streaming / “TCP Streaming Listen Port” = 2020 Streaming / “Stream to” = RAW TCP : (Exstreamer´s IP) : 2020 Streaming / “Mode” = 4 Streaming Receiver Instreamer: (needs minimum Firmware 2.02) NOTE, the Exstreamer standard firmware is obsolete, we recommend to use the Exstreamer Streaming Client firmware or the ABCL STL firmware ! Using broadcast or multicast addresses causes also a syncron playback on all Exstreamers if the same Buffer (UDP – Start Threshold) size is used. With UDP / RTP you can send the stream to max.8 Exstreamers directly or also as broadcast or to a multicast address to all Exstreamers in your network (could be 100 or more). RAW TCP is limited to max 8 connections, with HTTP the Instreamer allos maximum 6 connections at the same time. Our favorite mode is RTP streaming (more details in our RTP guide) !! RTP is UDP based which is the best for realtime streaming with lowest latency. With this Exstreamer firmware you can use RAW UDP, RAW TCP, HTTP or RTP. URL = If you have changed the port number on the Instreamer´s “Stream to” entry to anything else than 0 or 80 (e.g to 3333) then you have to use the following URL line : For more information please check our Instreamer-Exstreamer_Howto.pdfĮxstreamer standard firmware (already discontinued !) The default Port 0 together with “Internet Radio” in the “Stream to” line would mean also port 80.ġ. Streaming / “Stream to” = Internet Radio : 0.0.0.0 : 80īoth are default values. Note, this is only on the first “Stream to” entry available, not on the entries 2-8 !!! This opens a BRTP listen port where multiple Exstreamers can pull a stream from ! Streaming / “Stream to” = RTP : (Exstreamer´s IP): 4444 Īudio / “Bit Reservoir Mode” = kept empty It´s a dedicated streaming application with enhanced monitoring features and stream backup feature ! This firmware is downloadable from (under downloads). This firmware is a special firmware which can run on all Exstreamer platforms. ![]() Using the Exstreamer Streaming Client firmware A delay of 200 – 250 ms by using MP3 should run in the most stable LANs. In our test lab we have reached by using MP3 a lowest possible delay of 175 ms, lower delays (below 100 ms) are possible by using PCM or G.711. 3,75 seconds plus network delay, which is almost nothing in a local LAN. A higher audio bandwidth fills the buffer faster and causes a lower delay.Ĭalculation example with a 128 kbit stream and a default buffer of 60000 byte:ġ28000 / 8 = 16000 bytes /s 60000 / 16000 = 3,75 s The delay can be from below 200 ms up to serveral seconds, depending from the used audio bandwidth (Codec, frequency/quality) in the Instreamer and the audio buffer (Start Threshold) in the Exstreamer. ![]() In the Exstreamer web setup on parameter “Start Threshold” (under Streaming) you can adjust the delay. DHCP is also possible but a fix IP has some advantages. It´s recommended to use the Exstreamer Streaming Client firmware! First you always should assign fix IP addresses to each unit. ![]() There are different ways to send analog (line-in) audio from a Barix Instreamer over the network to the Barix Exstreamer where your speakers could be connected.Īdditionally to the modes mentioned below, you can send audio from the Instreamer or the Annuncicom to the Exstreamer´s “Priority Ports”, this works in all Exstreamer modes.īelow are shown configuration examples with the Streaming Client firmware and the Standard firmware for the Exstreamer.
