NetStreams DigiLinX Now Offers Seamless Multi-Room Integration With AudioReQuest and Imerge Music Servers (31/5/2005)

Stand E50, Hall 3, CEDIA UK Expo 2005

IP-based Networked Audio Distribution System Plays Up to 6 Audio Streams from a Single Music Server Simultaneously to Multiple Rooms in the Home

NetStreams, the leader in IP-based Networked Audio/Video distribution, announced that its innovative DigiLinX(TM) IP-based distributed audio system now offers seamless integration with both AudioReQuest and Imerge music servers.

All AudioReQuest and Imerge models now allow up to 6 simultaneous audio streams over the DigiLinX system. DigiLinX also supports distribution and control of the meta-data bundled with digital audio - the extra information used to catalogue music files such as artist, album, genre, and even cover art. DigiLinX's TouchLinX in-wall LCD colour touch screens can display this information, and allow users to select tracks based on its different categories.

"NetStreams places a high importance on seamless integration of our DigiLinX system with other manufacturers' equipment, and our partnership with AudioReQuest and Imerge further enhances the value proposition of our product line in the custom installation marketplace," said Herman Cardenas, founder and CEO of NetStreams.

DigiLinX uses NetStreams' patent pending StreamNet(TM) technology to distribute audio over CAT5e using TCP/IP on an Ethernet network. DigiLinX converts audio from legacy sources (Tuner, CD player, other) in real-time, to uncompressed audio streams, allowing up to 24-bit, studio-quality audio to be distributed throughout the home.

StreamNet automatically solves the synchronization of an audio source to multiple rooms over a TCP/IP network, a function that no other system has been able to provide. By taking advantage of today's cutting-edge computer networking technology, DigiLinX can give users access to literally millions of sources in an infinite number of rooms or zones.

NetStreams' UK distributor, Invision, will showcase the groundbreaking DigiLinX system on Stand E50 in Hall 3, at the CEDIA Expo at the ICC, Birmingham, 28 -30 June 2005.
