Socket.IO doesn’t support binary data as not all transports support this. What you should do instead is taking a look at http://binaryjs.com/
If you do not want to such a solution you will have to pack all your binary data in to a string and decode it again on the client side.. But this is basically the same that binaryjs is also doing. It using a customized messagepack (encoder) to send the data see https://github.com/binaryjs/js-binarypack
