LISTENING TO AIRPLAY STREAMING
The XStream™ X5 has Apple’s AirPlay technology built into the streamer.
AirPlay works over your Wi-Fi network. Using your Wi-Fi, high quality audio
content can be sent wirelessly to any X5 powered room in the system. With
AirPlay, your iOS device becomes an extension of each X5. From iTunes, you
can also simultaneously stream to multiple X5 devices. Just choose multiple
X5 powered rooms from the AirPlay menu. It’s that simple!
AirPlay also streams more than just music to your X5 device. It shares
metadata and simple control commands from your iOS device. AirPlay is
completely integrated and simple to use.
iPhone 5 iOS 7 example:
Open your music app and chose an artist from your playlist.
Using the swipe feature in iOS 7,
swipe from the bottom of the screen
to the top of the screen to reveal the
AirPlay menu.
Press the AirPlay menu button
to reveal a list of AirPlay capable
devices. Your X5 devices will appear
in this box as the X5 room name or
the default MAC address. Choose
the appropriate X5 device and music
will begin playing. If you have a
connected keypad, the keypad will
show the metadata and controls
such as volume up and down can
now be controlled bi-directionally
between the keypad and iOS device.
