Distributed

A distributed FireBall installation means that your FireBall Servers and Clients are physically distributed or located in different rooms. Distributed FireBalls communicate over a wired or wireless network to share access to your media.

The biggest advantage of a distributed client- server system over a central system is that everything you need is built into FireBall. Networking, zoned IR, independent high-quality audio and video feeds, as well as support for an unlimited number of rooms or zones using standard ethernet wiring. (Note: only 4 clients can stream from the same server at one time).
