What kind of streams does the Instreamer produce ?
The Instreamer converts audio from any analog or digital (optical/coaxial S/P DIF) source into:
- G.711 (aLaw/uLaw) streams at 8 or 24 kHz sample rate,
- PCM (16 bit) streams at 8 or 24 kHz sample rate or
- high-quality MP3 streams at adjustable bit rates (VBR) between 35 and 192kbps
- Encoding up to 48kHz PCM/stereo is possible with alternative firmware.
The audio is encoded in real-time, and the generated audio stream can be distributed, via an IP-based network or the Internet, to one or more receivers or Shoutcast / Icecast-servers.
