By choosing “Custom station” you will see the screen for setting up a new station.
Your new station will at first use the same settings as the currently loaded station.
> Title
Untitled station
From here you will be prompted to ‘Title’.
Fill in the name of your station.
Always start by giving the new station a name, otherwise it will not be saved. In this case we will name it Studio 1 and alter the settings.
Streaming
protocol : The following supported protocols can be set:
@@@ RTP : send and receive a symmetric RTP stream with integrated signalling.
@@ SC-RTP : send and receive a symmetric RTP stream with integrated signalling. Send the same stream on all available active network-interfaces. So when you have a 3G and a WIFI connection, LUCI will send 2 streams. This way, if 1 connection breaks up, the studio will still receive the other. In addition to this, LUCI will send also streams via IPV4 and IPV6 if the network-interface and the studio support it.
@@@ SIP : You can use SIP in combination with formats like G711, G722 to connect to standard VOIP equipment. Or use other codecs like AAC-HE or MP2 to connect to other SIP compliant codecs.
@@ RTP Multicast Source : LUCI can be a source for multiple Multicast listeners.
@@ RTP Multicast Receiver : LUCI can be set as a Multicast listener.
@@ Shoutcast : LUCI can be a source for a Shoutcast internet radio station you operate.
@@ Icecast : LUCI can be a source for an Icecast internet radio station you operate.
codec
Select here one of the following codec formats for the outgoing stream to the studio:
@@ AAC(-LC), AAC-ELD, AAC-ELDv2, AAC-LD, AAC-HE or AAC-HEv2
@@ G.711 A-Law or G711 u-Law
@@@ G.722
@@ L16 or L24
@@ MP2
@@ Opus Audio, Opus Low Delay or Opus Voice
@@@ ULCC, ULCC-24 or ULCC-S
bitrate
Default value is set on 64 kbps. Set the bitrate of the codec format you select.
For the outgoing stream.
Supported bitrates depend on the chosen codec.
jitter buffer
Default value 100 ms (WiFi) / 200 ms (3G). Supported buffer length WiFi and 3G: 10 ms to 500 ms. This is the jitter buffer that LUCI uses for the RETURN stream. This will NOT have any influence on the outgoing stream to the studio.
jitter buffer Dyn.
This is a setting that you can choose so the software determines the buffer that is needed to get a drop free connection automatically while you are streaming. It takes the normal jitter buffer setting ( say 50 ms ) as the lowest possible, and the Jitter Buffer Dyn. setting ( say 200 ms ) as the possible range ( so buffer automatically set is between 50 and 250 msec ). 0 ms will set this feature off.
