The sections below briefly describe the Audio Processor, AAC and MP3 encoder instances.

The output audio device can be either a sound card installed in the PC, a Virtual Audio
Cable device or an Axia IP-Audio device. Please see the Audio Processor Instance chapter
for more details.
AAC Encoder
The AAC Encoder instance accepts audio from a source, processes it, encodes it to AAC,
then sends the encoded stream to one or more servers you specify:

It is important to note that the encoded stream can be sent simultaneously to multiple serv-
