This spring, Barix will add SRT connectivity to its LX400 AoIP broadcast codecs. The company says SRT is designed for customers seeking near-zero latency for live broadcast streams that require real-time AM, FM or online delivery.
SRT will provide users with a third AoIP transport option, alongside Barix’s standard RTP-based STL firmware and Reflector Evo cloud networking service, the company says.
The LX400 is configurable as an encoder or decoder. Barix says SRT encoding will be available for the LX400 later this spring via a board-level upgrade. SRT decoding, meanwhile, will be available this summer.
Barix originally introduced the LX400 at the 2024 NAB Show. In addition to the existing Barix feature set for STL, studio-to-studio and other audio network applications, the LX400 introduces new features. These include software codec options such as Opus and AAC+ for compressed transport, as well as PCM for uncompressed transmission.
“The LX400 also offers end-to-end delay control for RTP streaming and stream redundancy modes for uninterrupted broadcasting, whether used in a standard STL firmware configuration or within a Reflector EVO service,” said Barix. “The latter, exclusively offered through Barix’s longtime partner StreamGuys, offers full-duplex audio contribution and distribution in the cloud for enterprise-level broadcast applications.”
