Parameter 

Meaning 

Codec 

A large number of encoding formats is available on IQOYA TALK: 

 

linear 12/16/20/24-bits PCM 

 

ITU G.711_ALAW/_ULAW /G.722 

 

ISO MPEG-1/2 Layer I, Layer II, Layer III 

 

AAC-LC, HE-AACv1 (LC+SBR), HE-AACv2(LC+SBR+PS), AAC-LD, AAC-ELD 

 

Opus / OPUS+INBANDFEC 

Sample rate 

Frequency of the encoded audio, to be selected from the list box. 

 

It can be different from the device’s sampling frequency 

Channels 

Select if the audio stream encoding is stereo or mono. 

Bit rate 

Bit rate of the encoded audio. 

FEC / Dual Stream  

A Forward Error Correction (FEC) can be selected.  
FEC  is  a  technique  used  to  reduce  data  transmission  errors  on  unreliable 
networks  by  sending  additional  information  allowing  to  correct  them.  It 
consists  in  sending  additional  packets  so  that  the  decoder  can  recover  lost 
ones. The amount of additional frames defines the recovery performance.
