Barix PCM issue?

D

Anyone have any experience with running PCM on a Barix unit?

We have plenty of Bandwidth in our link.... but it seems whenever I run it as PCM, i get strange 'robot' sounding artifacts. MPEG1&2 work just fine....only occurs with PCM (uncompressed). Obviously, I want to run a linear uncompressed stream if I can. Any help would be much appreciated!

Thanks, Casey
 
Are you running across a LAN or over the internet? Because I have never had great success running PCM over the internet. Too many external factors. Even if you have plenty of bandwidth, you have no control of what your ISP does on their end. The Barix boxes seem to run PCM great over a T1 or a local LAN, But if you going over the internet, I try to run the highest level MPEG that I can.

With Barix... And other simple, just send-a-stream and receive-what-you-get codecs.

There are intelligent codecs such as Telos Z/IP One that are specifically designed for open Internet. Two Z/IP Ones talk to each other about the connection and can dynamically adapt to the changing conditions in terms of varying the buffer and bitrate.

There are others like APT, which use redundancy in two streams being sent over different paths to choose packets on the receiving end.

But you won't get that with cheap Barix...
