Vorbis Encoder Menu
The Vorbis encoder menu allows you to enable or disable the stream, adjust its output gain, enter
the stream’s title and Ogg Metadata, and select the channel mode, sample rate, and quality mode.
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 Channel Mode menu provides a choice between Mono and Stereo.
The Sample Rate menu will either maintain Omnia.9’s sample rate of 48kHz in the encoder,
or convert it to 8, 11.025, 16, 22.05, 24, 32, or 44.1kHz.
The Quality Mode menu allows you to choose from a range of settings between VBR -­‐2 and
VBR 9. The Vorbis protocol is by nature a variable bit rate encoder, but for reference, we
have included an approximate average bit rate for quality modes lower than VBR 4.
The Gain control determines the final output level of the encoder.
