1.2 Applications
The Instreamer ICE was designed with two applications in mind, namely: it can be used as a
live encoder feeding either the built-in Icecast server or feed an external Icecast server.
1.2.1 Live encoder feeding integrated Icecast server - “Server mode”
In the Icecast “Server mode”, the Instreamer ICE encodes the analog audio and up to 50
clients/listeners can pickup the audio stream directly from the Instreamer ICE.
1.2.2 Live encoder feeding external Icecast server - “Source mode”
In Icecast source mode, the Instreamer ICE acts as source for an external Icecast server.
It captures the audio input and sends the output of the encoding process as a stream to a
remote Icecast server. All clients/listeners can then pickup the audio stream from this external
Icecast server. This mode is useful when you do not have enough internet bandwidth and
prefer to use an external Icecast server, be hosted at special Internet Service providers, to
provide the stream to your customers.
