Streaming Processing &
Encoding Menu
Streaming processing and encoding options in the Omnia.9 are as comprehensive as you will find. Depending on what options
you have installed, you can have a total of 3 independent streams with up to 8 encoders (depending on configuration). The
encoders can be independently set with different codec types, and can serve internal or external stream servers.
The audio for Stream 1 is shared with the FM and HD-1 sections of Omnia.9, while Streams 2 and 3 are shared with their
corresponding HD-2 and HD-3. However, each stream section can be processed completely independently of its corresponding
HD core, except in certain heavy configurations on Omnia.9 classic hardware such as Dual FM.
To enable stream processing, set choices from the Home > System > System Configuration > Processing Paths selection.
The Streaming menu for each of the Streaming 1, Streaming 2, and Streaming 3 sections contains sub-menus for processing
and for configuring the various encoder and server options.
A detailed explanation of setting up and configuring streaming encoders and servers would require an entire document of its
own, and is beyond the scope of the general Omnia.9 manual. We have assumed that users who stream possess at least a basic
knowledge of how streaming audio works and an understanding of the differences between the various formats. We encourage
you to work closely with your IT administrators to obtain the information specific to your operation.
