Stardraw

StreamNet technology based products are designed to distribute audio, video and control data
using standard networking technology. By embracing open standards, we have developed a
system that leverages reliability, expandability and cost-effectiveness for customers.

Using standardized Ethernet TCP/IP protocols to distribute audio and video streams over LANs,
StreamNet offers scalability enabling virtually unlimited zones and sources along with the most
advanced integration capabilities available in distributed audio and video.

With StreamNet, seamless communication with other third-party systems, such as lighting control
systems, automation systems and security systems is easily achieved. Some customers, however,
choose to use the third-party system controllers or software to manage the entire system including
StreamNet audio video distribution.

In order to assist Stardraw control software users, we have developed methods to setup the Stardraw
Control 2010 software-based universal control platform with StreamNet systems. The Stardraw
program used to create the StreamNet control interface can be run on a PC or laptop. It creates
either an executable for windows based systems, or HTML for tablets, iPhones or iTouch systems
operated through a browser. The control system generated is placed on a computer attached to
the network (and equipped with a machine licensing dongle from Stardraw) to operate.

DISTRIBUTION MODEL WITH STREAMNET-ENABLED PRODUCTS

AV distribution using StreamNet-enabled products places the encoders and decoders at the
individual sources and destinations. The encoders and decoders interface with the Ethernet network
to move signals and commands to and from their destinations and sources.

• Encoders - placed at the AV sources to convert the source outputs, place the signals on the

network and to receive their own commands from the IP network.

• Decoders - placed with the destination devices to receive and convert the signal data from

source encoders and to receive their own commands from the IP network.

• Stardraw Software - The Stardraw Control 2010 software-based universal control platform

provides the control needed for the use of the ClearOne StreamNet devices.

The GUI and the command processing programming that are essential to this control and
communication are contained in Stardraw software running on a PC or laptop running on the same
network.
