Three ways to
play an exhibit

On the RTX the visitor simply picks from a list of items, behind each item the integrator can mix three kinds of audio.

BEHIND THE SCENES · AUDIO CONTENT TYPES
Live Auracast™ stream

A live exhibit feeds audio straight into an Auracast™ transmitter, broadcast in real time.

On-demand playback

Audio files loaded into the tour list, played on demand when the visitor selects them. Not synchronized.

Timecode-based playback

Audio files on the RTX synced to a timecode stream, frame-accurate to video, lighting or a live show.

ON THE RTX · HOW THE VISITOR PLAYS EACH ITEM
Manually select

Scroll the track list and pick an item.

Proximity trigger

Audio starts as visitors approach (beacon).

Tap-to-play (NFC)

Tap an exhibit tag to start its audio (NFC).
