1.1 APPLICATION AND PURPOSE

• Studio-to-transmitter link (STL Connection): Streamer MAX can be used for all kind of links between mobile and studio. Being easy to use and set avoids any setting problem and allows those non specialized to easily use it. Moreover a lot of Radio Station is turning into Audio-Over-IP as StudioTransmitter Link from the Main audio Studio directly to the Transmitting Site. A different purpose for Streamer MAX is the permanent link between Outcast News Room or OB Studios and the Master Control Room. Today fast internet connection are available almost everywhere, so if a Radio Broadcaster need to offer a good audio quality, and not the telephone quality, could use this Equipment. Axel Technology White Paper Networked Audio-Over-IP solution 6 3

• Public Address: The new Streamer MAX are designed also to distribute audio easily in a complex system. It can be used in several applications to broadcast audio files like background music at the same time to the specific messages, like live announcements, in areas previously identified

• Background Music: It's a perfect solution for Malls, Hotels, Shopping Centres and other surfaces with many different sound zones. The integrated web server allows you to check in remote mode the parameters of each single Streamer MAX box.

• Voice evacuation: emergency situation In locations where crowds gather such as a stadium, an efficient sound distribution is required especially in case of emergency. Playback to the complete circuit the standard “Alarm Tones” or general code of behaviour in case of emergency. Using the right Streamer MAX box it is possible to lead people to the nearest exit.

• Advertising Network Split Areas: In large companies with locations and branches at different remote sites (like Market Chains) MAX series distribute your sound and your advertising message troughout the chain. It is also possible to split Advertising areas to generate different market areas.

• Zoned sound reinforcement: MAX Series is a very flexible sound distribution system and can help to create the right atmosphere in your selected zone. For example in a museum you may also enable a single Streamer MAX to explain a particular picture.

• Control operation: MAX Series can be used also where special security features are required (for example in a tunnel). You can create several priority levels to be used according to fire brigade, ambulance and police procedures. Axel Technology White Paper Networked Audio-Over-IP solution 7

• Rail, Metro Station, Ships: MAX series allows to creation of an audio distribution system using only one CAT5 cable. In a ship you can distribute the sound in each location (hall, restaurant, control bridge, cabins) with the option to make an announcement only in certain predifined areas in indipendent mode.

Scenario 3: Point-to-point connection using IceCast2 Source

This is the Typical scenario when a Radio Station needs to feed an external IceCast2 Service Provider and deliver the audio for webcast. In this case no PUBLIC IP are needed, no PUBLIC IP in Point-A nor in Point-B. The audio is delivered to a IceCast2 Server that will manage all the incoming request, and due to a very large amount of bandwidth required, this is the preferred solution for internet radio broadcasting.

In the ENCODER SETTINGS (Point-A) select as Source: Analogic Mode: IcecastSource-MP3

In Section MP3 select the preferred Rate: 128kBits and Sample Rate: 44.1kHz Mode: Stereo

And in Icecast Source set as showed here. The URL, USER NAME And Password are provided by your IceCast2 Service Provider. Mount is the

name of the streaming, should be “Stream1” or other

name PORT: generally speaking IceCast2 port is 8000 but should be changed according to IceCast2 Service Provider

Scenario 4: Multiple connection using IceCast2 Server with Internet

Streamer Max MKII allows to be at the same time an IceCast2 Source and IceCast2 Server. So, just in case the user own enough internet bandwidth and a Public IP it is possible to connected up to 20 Streamer Max MKII in Decoding from a single Streamer Max MKII encoder source.

In the ENCODER SETTINGS (Point-A) select as Source: Analogic Mode: IcecastServer-MP3

In Section MP3 select the preferred Rate:128kBits and Sample Rate: 44.1kHz Mode: Stereo

And in IceCast2 Server set as showed here. USER NAME no needed Password as preferred (eg: test) Mount is the name of the streaming, should be “Stream1” or other name

In this condition it is necessary to create by the IT department a rules in Firewall/Router that redirect all TCP/IP packet from the PUBLIC IP to the Local IP.
