Transmit
The Transmit setting determines what standard (i.e. Algorithm) is used to encode the audio to be
sent to the far end. Each mode offers distinct advantages and disadvantages (see section 6.2 for
additional information), as follows:
AAC – THE MPEG AAC algorithm will be used
L3 – THE MPEG Layer 3 algorithm will be used
Bitrate
This allows selection of the desired bit rate for the streaming audio. The higher the bitrate, the
better the fidelity. However, higher bitrates use up more bandwidth thereby increasing your
transmission cost. See below.
On the other hand, the QOS (quality of service) of the IP network is less critical the lower the bit
rate used.
Disconnect all clients
This allows you to terminate the connections to Xstreams (or other players) currently listening
to the stream generated by the local Xstream
THE TEL MENU IN ETHERNET MODE
TEL - Screen 1 (Status)
This screen shows the number of client players (software players or Zephyr Xstreams) currently
connected to the stream generated by this Xstream. This information is valuable as dropouts
are more likely the greater the number of connected clients
The remaining TEL screens are identical in Ethernet mode as in ISDN or V.35 mode.
INTERNET BANDWIDTH REQUIREMENTS
The Xstream can serve a limited number of streams without a replication server. The following
table indicates the allowable number of streams:
