Native support for RTI Audio Distribution systems

CasaTunes Music Servers can "natively" control one or more RTI Audio Distribution Systems

Whether you want to use CasaTunes in a complete RTI controlled environment or standalone (with no RTI controllers), you can still use the  RTI Audio Distribution Systems (AD-4, AD-4x, AD-8, AD-8x, AD-16X) with any CasaTunes music server. Up to 8 RTI Audio Distribution Systems can be connected at one time.

The latest version of CasaTunes now also supports RTI's new line of AD DSP audio matrices, including the AD-46-100, AD-810-100 and the AD-1616.

CasaTunes can control the RTI audio distribution systems using either RS-232 (serial) or IP (if the system supports it).

When used with an RTI Controller, the dealer simply installs the CasaTunes driver and lets CasaTunes control the Audio Distribution System, saving programming time and complexity. The CasaTunes Music Streamer combined with an RTI Audio Distribution System behaves like any other CasaTunes music system.

Plus, when you configure the CasaTunes driver to control your RTI Audio Distribution Systems, you can use both the native CasaTunesX Apps, and your RTI panels and Apps, to control your CasaTunes music, providing customers more control options.

Next Steps

Explore our RTI Integration Guides and Videos for ID 11, the Coral UI, and the Music Player and RTI Music templates—in two different configuration modes. In System Mode, the CasaTunes music server delivers one or more streams and controls the audio matrix. The primary benefit of this mode, is that alongside RTI panels, keypads, and remotes, your customers can use the more powerful CasaTunesX App to control their music. Whereas in Streamer Mode, the server simply supplies one or more audio streams, and you must configure an RTI or third-party driver to separately control the audio matrix.
