Control and automation manufacturer RTI has announced the new RTI Music and MS-3 Music Streamer, designed to allow integrators to deliver a streaming experience to their clients with native control through any RTI control system.
With RTI Music, users can stream high-res audio into any room from their selected platform or from their local NAS with a simple tap on a touchpanel, remote, or their mobile device. RTI Music supports three concurrent streams from sources including Pandora, Spotify, iHeart Radio, SiriusXM, SiriusXM for Business, SoundMachine, and TuneIn.
Further, the AirPlay interface enables streaming from Apple Music and Amazon Music. The Music Queue features play now, play later, and play soon options to build an on-the-fly song queue, while the Favorites playlists integrate songs from multiple services and local devices.
“Where RTI Music really shines is the user experience, which is fully integrated into the control system,” says Neal Ellsworth, RTI Director of Product Management. “Sources, zones, favorites, and playlists are all managed from a single interface, even when creating on-the-fly music queues from multiple services or local devices.”
RTI Music operates natively within the RTI control system, designed to make it easier to access playlists and search favorite songs, artists, and albums on favorite services and then direct the music to the room(s) of choice. A music collection on a local NAS drive or computer can be accessed andintegrated with support for lossless audio (FLAC and ALAC) formats.
RWhen connected, the RTI Integration Designer programming platform will automatically discover the MS-3, while the configuration utility facilitates setting up music accounts. The 1U-chassis MS-3 pairs with RTI audio distribution systems. Go here for more specifics.
