Barix Exstreamer 500 Professional IP Audio Encoder/Decoder

The Exstreamer 500 is a professional IP Audio encoder/decoder that provides balanced analog audio interfaces (stereo input and stereo output) and contact closures. A USB flash interface allows use of external memory to store audio files. The device's low-power, reliable architecture makes the device an ideal choice for broadcast applications such as STL, confidence monitoring, remote contribution and silence detection, as professional audio endpoints (with IP or Ethersound protocol), and for generic low-latency audio streaming and routing applications. Features: - MP3, G711, G.722, PCM Encoding / Decoding - Shoutcast/Icecast Source capability - Audio Level Supervision with SNMP Trap generation - IP Streaming via TCP, UDP, RTP, Multicast - Balanced Line Level Input (Stereo) - Balanced Line Level Output (Stereo) - Relay Output (4) - Contact Closure Input (4) - RS-232 / RS-485 Serial Port - USB Flash Memory Interface - Supply Voltage 24...48 VDC Applications: - Live IP Audio Encoder for Streaming Applications - Generic, bidirectional full-duplex VoIP module for Paging and Intercom Applications - Paging and Audio Distribution with Amplifier control and monitoring - Shoutcast/Icecast Source Encoder - Confidence Monitoring and Vox Switch for Broadcast Applications - Commercial Audio Streaming Applications - Multiroom IP Audio System Receiver - Low latency IP Audio Encoder for multichannel applications - Background Music and Music-on-Hold encoder for VoIP Applications - Source Encoder for IP Audio Distribution Applications - Digital Annunciator, Message Player, Message Repeater - SIP and IP Paging Zone Device Specifications: Electrical - 24 to 48 VDC + 20% Power requirement: 8 Watt max. 2 pin screw terminal connector Ethernet - 10/100Mbps auto, RJ-45 connector with integrated Link & Activity LEDs Protocols: TCP/IP, UDP, RTP, DHCP, Multicast capable RS-485 - 4 pin screw terminal connector 300..230'400 Baud asynchronous, 7/8 bit Analog Inputs & Outputs (stereo) - DB9 female socket Analog Inputs - Differential input, 18kOhm input impedance Clipping level 15dBu, 12.3 Vpp Frequency response (-3dB) 20..20'000 Hz * Signal to Noise Ratio 87 dB, THD 0.01% Stereo crosstalk -88 dB Input level software controllable (-3.. +19.5dB) Analog Outputs - Differential output, 40..60 Ohm output impedance Output level software controllable Full scale output voltage: 15dBu, 12.3 Vpp Frequency response (-3dB) 20..20'000 Hz * Signal to Noise Ratio 92dB, THD 0.03% Stereo Crosstalk -66 dB Audio formats - Encoding and decoding MP3 in variable and constant bit rate ( VBR/CBR, 8kbps..320kbps) at 8..48kHz sample frequency PCM (L16, uLaw, aLaw) at 8..48kHz sample frequency Decoding AAC+ (AAC-LC, HE-AAC, HE-AAC v2) Discrete I/O - Two 6 pin screw terminal connectors 4 contact closure sensing inputs 4 relay contacts, 24V 0.5A, normally open Mechanical - Aluminum case, 620g, rack mountable using accessory bracket Dimensions (W x H x D) - 216x38x125mm (8.5x1.5x4.92 inch) MTBF - According MIL217F at 25 degree C Exstreamer 500 min. 410 000h Exstreamer 1000 min. 350 000h * depends on used codec, best results @48kHz PCM
