STREAMING SERVER FUNCTION
BRIC-Link II has the ability to act as a streaming server, delivering AAC and HE-AAC to compa ble PC-based media
players. Currently tested media players include
WinAmp, VLC and Windows Media Player version 12 or higher .
As a streaming server, BRIC-Link II takes a passive role, allowing media players to “pull” the audio stream
spontaneously. By default, streaming server func onality is turned o
ff . To enable it, go to the System Se ngs Tab of
the Web User Interface and turn on “Show Advanced Se ngs”. As shown in Figure 73 , select the HTTP drop down
under Alternate Modes . The fi rst op on, “Accept Incoming Connec ons” should be changed to “Yes”.
The default port for serving streams is TCP 8000. To create a custom port, change the HTTP se ng labelled “IP
Port”. Note that this port will need to be referenced in the URL provided to listeners.
Next, select an encoder for use by the streaming server. Only the encoder choices that are compa ble with the
media players listed will be shown in this menu. Choices span from a mono audio feed at 18 kb/s up to a stereo
feed at 128 kb/s. Keep in mind, mul ple streams will require this bandwidth along with around 25% overhead for
each stream.
The Genre, Info URL and Public op ons may be set for anything, or le alone. These op ons, if applied, will be
embedded into the stream.
