02 Playback modes
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.
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, visitors play each item by selecting it from the track list, as they approach it, or with Tap-to-play (NFC) on an exhibit tag.
03 Timecode over Auracast™
One device can synchronize an entire venue
Up to 50 exhibits per CASTER, multi-language and synchronised, triggered from your control system. Ideal for museums, visitor centers and immersive attractions.
Audio files on the RTX synced to a timecode stream, frame-accurate to video, lighting or a live show.
- Up to 50 exhibits per CASTER
- Over 20 languages per exhibit
- Triggered from your control system
- Timecode-synced playback (patent pending)
Audio files live on each RTX - the CASTER broadcasts only the clocks.
