Installing Opticodec-PC 

Opticodec-PC PE 

For the PE version of Opticodec-PC, one Optimod-PC 1100 PCI Audio Card is required 
per audio program source. In a given computer, you can use as many cards as there 
are available PCI slots (including slots in an external PCI expansion chassis). 

Multiple encoder instances (including encoders other than Opticodec-PC) can oper-
ate simultaneously to generate multiple bitrates and/or stream formats from the 
same program source. You may create unlimited numbers Opticodec-PC PE in-
stances, constrained only by CPU resources. Multiple encoder instances require 
multi-client driver operation. Windows XP supports multi-client audio driver opera-
tion directly, while Windows 2000 requires an audio bridge application such as 
Ntonyx Virtual Audio Cable (

http://www.ntonyx.com

).  

Each Opticodec-PC PE application is serialized to match the Optimod-PC card with 
which it will be used. It cannot be used with another Optimod-PC card. For each Op-
timod-PC card in a given computer, one Opticodec-PC PE application must be in-
stalled. An Opticodec-PC PE application may be moved to any computer provided its 
mating Optimod-PC is moved with it to the same computer. 

Opticodec-PC LE 

Opticodec-PC LE will operate with any quality Microsoft Windows qualified sound 
device. If physical audio inputs are not required (for example, by sourcing audio 
with a player on the same computer as the encoder) it is possible to use a virtual au-
dio driver program, such as Ntonyx Virtual Audio Cable (

http://www.ntonyx.com

) to 

feed Opticodec-PC LE. In this way, sound device hardware, whether installed in a PCI 
slot or on main board, is available for other uses, such as monitoring a stream. 

Only one encoder instance of Opticodec-PC LE will operate on a single computer. 

Software Installation 

Installation consists of: 

•

 

Installing Optimod-PC (if you are using Opticodec-PC PE, which requires the 
presence of Optimod-PC to start up) 

•

 

Unpacking Opticodec-PC
