New in-store solutions cover the spectrum for live and scheduled playback of audio content, including dynamic ad insertions
ZURICH/ST. PAUL, MINNESOTA, September 3, 2014
— The upcoming
in Mumbai marks the official launch of Barix’s next-generation of in-store radio solutions in the Asia-Pacific region. Highlighting solutions that generate revenue for end users and reduce costs for systems integrators,
will demonstrate IP audio strategies for consumer engagement that meet a vast array of business requirements.
Barix’s next-generation IP audio “products” comprise wholesale applications that bring multiple software and hardware components together into complete solutions, driving both new operational efficiencies and revenue-generating opportunities. Visitors to the Barix stand at InfoComm India (Hall 1, B17 at the Bombay Convention and Exhibition Centre, September 17-19) can see how the company’s latest in-store radio solutions align with this solutions-oriented strategy.
“Barix’s years of experience developing IP audio and control solutions for in-store radio has advanced to a point where we offer two very distinct networked solutions, each offering benefits based on system scale, network resources and even general customer preference,” said Domenico Gambino, VP Sales, Barix. “We are providing end users and integrators with an affordable, high-quality foundation to incorporate single or multichannel audio streams—along with revenue-generating advertising opportunities—into any organization’s promotional and entertainment strategies. Barix’s knowledge and expertise in moving audio over networks ensures that our customers experience simple deployments, reliable operation and infinite scalability.”
Store & Play
specifically offers a solution to retailers and businesses that want dynamic in-store radio programming without using too many network resources, and/or want more control locally over their playout schedules. Store & Play allows customers to download music and advertising content off the network, and reliably play out that programming on schedule with excellent audio quality. Exceptional download speeds and system memory preserve playback quality through demanding processing actions, while a built-in precision clock ensures that schedules remain intact in the event of network outages.
SoundScape
allows comprehensive management of audio distribution over IP networks, offering a centralized management portal and audio players at multiple locations. Users can manage, configure and group SoundScape audio players, schedule content and monitor device status network-wide. The network-wide management capabilities of SoundScape further reduces costs and complexity by enabling remote firmware updates, log creation and more. SoundScape delivers broadcast-quality programming with targeted, location-based advertising insertions that seamlessly fade in and out of music programs, as well as the ability to seamlessly switch between live and scheduled streams.
