3.1 Introduction
The Barix Exstreamer P5 consists of a motherboard with connectors and peripheral circuits
supporting the embedded IP audio module “IPAM 300” which is used for decoding audio.
Besides the audio processor the IPAM 300 contains the CPU, RAM, Flash, EEProm, network,
serial and discrete I/O circuits. For further details please refer to the IPAM 300's product sheet
and development specification.
In this chapter we will explain the functional blocks using the below block diagram starting on
the top left and working down each interface to the point where it is connected to the IP audio
module. We then do the same from the top right corner.
At the same time you will find for each connector informations on how to wire the Barix
Exstreamer P5 to external components. We will explain the wiring using the wiring diagram on
