Streaming Encoders & Servers
The Streaming menu for each of the Streaming 1, Streaming 2, and Streaming 3 sections contains
settings for all of the various encoder and server options. From this menu, you can select and
configure any combination of AAC, MP3, MP2, Vorbis, or WMA streams.
A detailed explanation of setting up and configuring streaming encoders and servers would require
an entire manual of its own, and is beyond the scope of the general Omnia.9 manual. We have
assumed that users who stream possess at least a basic knowledge of how streaming audio works
and an understanding of the differences between the various formats. We encourage you to work
closely with your IT administrators to obtain the information specific to your operation.
AAC Encoder Menu
The AAC Encoder menu allows you to enable or disable the stream, adjust its output gain, enter the
stream’s title, and select the SBR Mode, channel mode, sample rate, bit rate, and audio bandwidth.
The Title field allows you to enter the stream title displayed to listeners and on public
listings, such as shoutcast.com.
The Enable control enables or disables the stream. When enabled, the encoder will
continually try to connect to the specified server.
The SBR (Spectral Band Replication) Mode toggles between Off, On, and Oversampled. We
recommend setting this control to Off (AAC) for bit rates of 160kbps or higher, On (AAC+)
for bit rates of 96bpbs or lower, and Oversampled for bit rates between 96 and 128kbps.
