Barix IP audio solution

SIP intercom and IP phone support

IP audio and control specialist Barix announced support of Crestron Rava SIP intercom and phone technology.  The Barix SIP firmware will simplify integration of Rava-enabled touchscreens with analog devices, such as intercom panels, to enable peer-to-peer communication between devices without a central server.  This simplifies Voice over IP (VoIP) integration in residential and commercial deployments.   Crestron Rava touch screens leverage SIP (Session Initiation Protocol) to permit voice intercom, telephone and paging (point-to-point and group) and other applications across the home, office or small business.  The inclusion of Barix firmware uniquely establishes compatibility between Rava-enabled touchscreens and analog door stations.  This allows customers to continue to use existing analog installed devices when upgrading to Rava touch screens, providing seamless IP to analog integration.

The Barix solution can be deployed today by connecting a Barix Annuncicom IP two-way audio hardware device directly to a door station.  Crestron is also working with companies such as eHolovision, which manufactures a series of intercom entry panels for door stations.  Barix will soon add the same functionality to these and other third-party panels equipped with Barix IPAM Series modules.  This enables peer-to-peer SIP and Rava compatibility without additional hardware.  Both options also provide digital inputs and outputs for control options, such as activating door strikes.  The integration with Barix effectively turns a door station and a Crestron Home Control System into an integrated access control solution for the customer.
