ClearOne Digital Media - Manual (Page 23)

6 . TCP/IP, the language of the internet, was developed to support an almost infinite
number of nodes. NetStreams’ StreamNet offers support for a nearly unlimited number
of sources and zones, on any packet switched network. StreamNet incorporates a
state-of-the-art network architecture in which each product on the network has its own
IP address and network intelligence, eliminating the need for costly matrix switches
and central controllers. In addition, audio and video streams are multicast to provide
scalability. StreamNet technology is incorporated in the ClearOne MediaLinX products
and automatically converts audio and video in real time so it may be streamed using
TCP/IP for playback.
7 . The StreamNet IP-Based distributed video system is future upgradeable. ClearOne has
insured the firmware in all new distributed video products (just as the audio products)
is upgradeable so additional features and CODECs may be added without costly
hardware upgrades.
8 . StreamNet is easy to install and setup. Because StreamNet is completely IP-Based, it
does not require complex Matrix switches or external control systems with the massive
custom programming. Sources and displays are automatically discovered over the
network and a variety of easy to use graphical user interface skins are available, which
means programming time may be reduced by as much as 80% over a traditional video
distribution system.
