Barix adds more features to Exstreamer

Switzerland - Barix has announced new features to its Exstreamer-100 and Exstreamer-110 IP audio decoders designed specifically to improve audio quality, reduce bandwidth costs, improve audio quality, and implement DRM (digital rights management) encryption firmware to protect audio content at the store location. Retail chains, restaurants, clubs and hotels are among the many businesses using audio at the point of purchase that can benefit from these new features, says the company. The new features will be introduced at the Digital Signage Expo, taking place 24-26 February at the Las Vegas Convention Centre.

Barix in-store audio platforms are built around Audio over IP distribution, with Exstreamer devices receiving audio from a central location (live or stored) and decoding it for playback at branch locations.

"Barix continues to incorporate new features into the Exstreamer platform, creating new opportunities for businesses that use audio at the point of purchase to entertain and inform customers," said Johannes G. Rietschel, CEO and founder of Barix AG. "The Exstreamer-100 and Exstreamer-110 are developing to meet the evolving needs of the retail and hospitality industries, while retaining the trademark flexibility and reliability that have established them as the choice of so many businesses for IP-based, in-store audio delivery."
