Barix RTC
Barix addresses network downtime with its new Real-Time Clock accessory. The device ensures that audio and control devices continue operating uninterrupted during network failures, keeping mission-critical operations for broadcast radio, streaming media, building automation, and other applications on time. The market-agnostic, self-sustaining reference clock plugs into any device with an RS-232 serial port, including but not limited to Barix IP audio and control products. The Barix Real-Time Clock (RTC) maintains time, even when unpowered, for years. This allows the RTC to provide time information immediately after a device startup, independent of a network-based time reference. Retail businesses, for example, often operate store and play systems for in-store audio that are programmed to run time-based announcements and playlists. The RTC allows the device to work offline without network connection, playing out audio messages and time-sensitive content on time. Availability: Now Price: NA
