The  Stream  Configuration  window  provides  the  configuration  options.  This  table  shows  the 
options for the Encoder and the Decoder! 

 

Field

 

Description

 

Stream Name 
(Stream-IN/Out) 

A name must be given – there are no constraints applying a 
name 

Type 
(Stream-In/Out) 

Stream Types are: Audio or AUX data – Aux data can be set to 
duplex on Encoder and Decoder 

Transmit 
(Stream-In) 

Enable this check box for a Transmit stream  

Receive 
(Stream-Out) 

Enable this check box for a Receive stream  

Transmit/Receive 
(Stream-In/Out) 

Enable both check boxes for a duplex AUX data stream only 

Mode 
(Stream-In/Out) 

Select the casting mode, either unicast or multicast 

Dest. IP Address 
(Stream-In) 

Enter the destination IP address (remote receiver IP address)  

IP Port 
(Stream-In/Out) 

Enter an IP port number to transmit to or receive from. For 
RTP streams chose even port number only (i.e., 5004, 5006, 
5008 etc.) Note: This is not the local source port number! 

TTL 

(Stream-In) 

Time to Live: Chose an appropriate value or keep the default 

QoS 
(Stream-In) 

Quality of service (DiffServ supported only), this value must 
be given by the network provider or administrator 
(0=disabled) 

Packet Size 
(Stream-In) 

There are various inter-dependent parameters influencing the 
best choice for the packet size. A good starting point is to use 
384Bytes for Eapt-X™ formats and 1024Bytes for linear PCM 

Rx Latency 
(Stream-Out) 

This is the size of the receive buffer (De-Jitter buffer) in Milli-
seconds. This buffer must not go below a minimum size. The 
minimum size depends on the jitter behavior of the network 
and the packet sizes. A good starting point is the default value 
of 150ms. 

Alarms Suppressed 
(Stream-In/Out) 

Checking this box, disabled all alarms generated by this IP 
stream
