Wowza Media Server
The Wowza Media server is a robust and high performance server capable of streaming
AAC to Adobe Flash clients. This means that the end listener does not need to have a
specific audio player installed on their PC but can listen to the audio stream using the Flash
browser plug-in.
When streaming to a Wowza server, Omnia A/XE uses the ICY protocol acting as a
SHOUTcast server. The Wowza server is then configured for SHOUTcast stream replica-
tion as shown in the image below:
Configure Omnia A/XE
When creating an AAC stream you can specify Wowza as a stream destination. When you
select this option, the following dialog is displayed:
1. Enter a friendly name for the stream. This name is used internally and for display
purposes so you may use any name. Please use only letters, digits, space and underscore
characters in the name.
2. Select a metadata source to tag the stream.
3. Enter a local port number that is not already in use. This is the port number that the
Wowza server will use to receive this stream.
4. Click the Save button when done. When this encoder is started, the stream will be made
available to your Wowza server for replication.
