Radio World Must-See Products 2020

Welcome to the Fall Product Must Sees

Product innovations in media technology are still making news as industry events continue to happen virtually. This special fall promotional guide offers a look at some of these "must see" products.

Barix for Convenient Link Negotiation and

High-Quality Audio Transport

The cost-effective SIP Opus Codec by Barix encodes and decodes audio signals using the efficient Opus compression format. It combines low latency and excellent audio quality with built-in error and jitter correction, all at reasonable bitrates.

SIP negotiation eliminates the need for public, static IP addresses at each end of the link. Endpoints don’t need to know each other’s IP addresses; they simply “dial” a registered SIP address to start the connection process. This enables you to keep everything behind your firewall, significantly increasing security.

And like all Barix devices, the SIP Opus Codec integrates seamlessly into multivendor environments.
