Streams and files encoded with OPTICODEC-PC Stream and File Encoder can be
played by almost all computers and mobile devices. The list keeps growing because
most major manufacturers and vendors acknowledge that AAC/HE-AACv2 optimizes
the consumer experience by producing the most desirable trade-off between bit
rate and subjective audio quality.
Be aware that different encoders are optimized for different bitrates, so you should
match your encoder to your potential audience. An encoder appropriate for a dial-
up rate of 20kb/sec may not be optimum for ISDN, DSL, E-1/T-1, or other broadband
rates. This makes it necessary to use more than one algorithm to optimally serve au-
diences with these disparate connection speeds.
MPEG-1 Layer 3 has become a de-facto standard for distribution of non-streaming,
high fidelity audio on the Internet, although HE-AACv2, as used in OPTICODEC-PC
Streaming Encoder, is far more efficient. OPTIMOD-PC is well matched to MP3 and
can effectively pre-process audio intended for MP3 playback. Choose an MP3 en-
coder wisely, as not all MP3 encoders are created equal and provide different levels
of quality. Also remember that MP3 has never achieved a subjectively transparent
audio quality rating at any bitrate.
Shipping Instructions
Use the original packing material if it is available. Place the card in a conductive
plastic bag to protect it from static damage, then pack it in the carton with at least 1
inch (2.5 cm) of cushioning on all sides of the unit. "Bubble" packing sheets, thick
fiber blankets, foam "popcorn" and the like are acceptable cushioning materials;
crumpled newspaper is not. Wrap cushioning materials tightly around the card and
tape them in place to prevent the card from shifting out of its packing.
Close the carton without sealing it and shake it vigorously. If you can hear or feel
the card move, use more packing. Seal the carton with 3-inch (8 cm) reinforced fi-
berglass or polyester sealing tape.
Mark the package with the name of the shipper, and with these words in red:
DELICATE INSTRUMENT, FRAGILE!
Insure the package properly. Ship prepaid, not collect. Do not ship parcel post. Your
Return Authorization Number must be shown on the label, or the package will
not be accepted.
