1Getting started
This is the consolidated manual for the 'Iris Transmitter' and the 'Iris Receiver' devices running software
version 0.1.3.
1.1 Introduction
Thank you for purchasing the Iris wireless audio networking device. We strongly recommend you to
read this manual thoroughly before you start installing and using the device for the first time.
The Iris Transmitter (also referred to as the TX-device) can be used to broadcast high quality audio
wirelessly, using DECT, to one or more Iris Receivers (also referred to as the RX-device).
Based on the application requirements, many Iris devices can be paired (wirelessly connected) to form
wireless audio networks. Pairing devices is easily done using the Iris configurator app.
For more information on Streamit products and technologies, we invite you to visit our website
https://www.streamit.eu.
Finally, we wish you lots of pleasure using your Iris devices.

1.3 Iris product range
The Iris technology can be used as the base for a number of products. The scope of this manual are
the products currently on offer:
· Iris Transmitter
· Iris Receiver
For special requirements or product ideas, please do not hesitate to contact us

The Iris Transmitter
The Iris Transmitter also referred to as the TX-device, is connected at the audio source and it is the
center point of your audio network. You can connect up to 100 RX-devices in the same audio network.
Looking at the hardware, on the front side we find:
· Two LEDs used to communicate status information
· The external antenna connector
On the back side we find:
· The RCA audio input connector
· A Phoenix Contact connector that implements a general purpose IO (GPIO)
· The USB-C power connector.

Iris Transmitter/Receiver 6
The current firmware version features MONO only support. Only the LEFT channel input will be used.
The current firmware does not support the GPIO related functionality.
The Iris Receiver
The Iris Receiver also referred to as the RX-device, is connected at the playout location, very close to,
or mounted on the speaker.
When it comes to the appearance, one will not be able to distinguish between the RX-device and the
TX-device.
On the front, you will notice the two LEDs used to communicate status information, as well as the
external antenna connector.
Looking at the back side, the only difference between with the TX-device is functional. The RCA
connector on the RX is the audio output.

Iris Transmitter/Receiver 7
The current firmware version only supports transmission of MONO audio. The output will be identical
on both channels of the RX-device.
1.4 Applications
The Iris devices have been developed for many types of applications that require highly reliable
transport of high quality audio, without cables.
Any of the following applications is possible at any location (site):
· A single one-to-one audio network
· A single one-to-many audio network, with as many as 100 RX-devices
· Up to 10 one-to-many audio networks, with as many as 100 RX-devices each
Iris devices feature an internal antenna, which should be good enough for many application especially
for small sites and without serious obstacles between devices. Range extension is achieved by attaching
an external antenna. Accessories such as external antennas are available for purchase from Streamit.
Please get in touch for more information.

2Installation
This section of the manual covers the installation of your Iris audio networking devices, and includes
some general installation notes.
2.1 Unpacking your device
Carefully unpack the device and the supplied materials. Make sure that all of the following components
are included:
· 1x Iris device
· 1x USB-C power supply
· 3x power plug adapters for EU (Type C), UK (Type G) and US (Type A)
· 1x Blank sticker
· 1x User manual
2.2 Connecting the Iris
Connecting the USB-C power supply
Select the correct power plug adapter for your mains socket and mount this to the base of the power
adapter. Plug the power adapter to the mains outlet and plug the other side in the Iris. In the process we
ask that you play careful attention to the following instructions:
Never use wet hands when plugging the power adapter in the mains and never remove the power
adapter from the mains with wet hands.
Do not cut or damage the cord of the power adapter; do not place heavy objects on the cord. This
can cause short-circuit, resulting in electrical shocks or even fire.
Pulling the cord can also damage the wire and/or isolation causing electrical shocks or fire.
Using power adapters other than the one recommended for your Iris, can result in overheating
and damage you device. This can cause fire, electrical shocks and other hazards. Only use the
supplied power adapter.
Applying your Iris to situations with rapid changing temperatures can result in condensation (small
amount of water) on the inner and outer surface of your device. To ensure a long lifetime of your
device, this should be prevented. In case of such a scenario, wait until you device is ‘dry’ before you
use it again.

Connecting the audio input on the TX-device
The analogue audio source is connected to the audio input of the TX-device. The type of cable
required has an RCA connector (2x tulp male) for the Iris side, while the other end depends on the type
of connector of the source device. No audio cables are included with the Iris.
The current firmware features MONO only support. Please make sure that the input from the mono
source is connected to the LEFT (black) connector.
Connecting the audio output on the RX-device
The audio output of the RX-device will be connected to the line input of the audio installation, or
speaker system. The type of cable required has an RCA connector for the Iris side, while the other end
depends on the type of connector in your audio installation. No audio cables are included with the Iris.
2.3 General installation notes
Whether you are dealing with a one-to-one or a one-to-many audio network, attention needs to be paid
to the following:
· Always try to have the TX-device placed in the “middle” of the installation.
· In case you need a longer range, the range can be extended by using an external antenna.
· Try to place the products as high as possible and prevent moving obstacles between the devices.
Thanks to the stability of the solution, it is possible to install as many as a thousand devices at a single
site. For such large installations, the following is important:
· There can be a maximum of 100 devices in one audio network.
· There can be a maximum of 10 audio networks in one site.
· The volume of the TX-device can be adjusted.
· The volume of each RX-device can be adjusted individually.

3Configuration
To be able and configure your Iris audio networks, you need to install the Iris configurator app on your
mobile device. The Iris configurator is available for free and features support for Android as well as iOS.

· Start the Iris configurator app and press 'Administrator login'
· (First time only) Create admin password and store/remember the chosen password
· Login using the administrator password (you just created)
· From the admin home, select 'Sites' and eventually create a new site for your audio network
· From the home page of the site you just created, select 'Add audio network'
