Z/IPStream A/XE Overview {LEGACY PRODUCT}
Z/IPStream A/XE can process audio for a variety of applications, bitrate-reduced and linear. It runs in the background as a Windows service, can be fully-managed and configured remotely with a web browser, and can even process and encode multiple streams in various formats simultaneously.
***Browser creators have decided to remove support for the Microsoft Silverlight plug-in. It is highly recommend that users transition to our Z/IPStream X/2 Streaming Software. In order to continue using Silverlight users have to maintain an older version of their browser, which can be less secure than an updated version. This transition will not only remove Silverlight reliance but will also provide users with higher workflow efficiency and increased productivity levels. In addition, the X/2 software has many new and advanced features such as an HTML5 UI for access from desktop and mobile devices, adaptive streaming, full scriptable control, the ability to further upgrade to 9X/2 with Omnia 9 processing and more.

Z/IPStream A/XE In Depth {LEGACY PRODUCT}
Seamlessly integrates with other software
The new Virtual Audio Cable allows Z/IPStream A/XE to receive, process, and send audio to other software on the PC. Internally encoded Shoutcast or Wowza server streams can be “tagged” with “now- playing” information received from automation systems or another application. An internal scheduler can start and stop streams at specific times, or daypart processing presets for different shows.
Included with A/XE is a license for the multi-channel version of the Axia IP-Audio driver. Customers with a Livewire® installation can use the Axia IP-Audio driver to send and receive audio directly from a Livewire network without the need for hardware audio cards.
Metadata
Accepts metadata from a variety of sources and uses it to “tag” the audio stream. This information is then sent to the media server and displayed in the user’s media player. Metadata can be accepted over TCP/IP and UDP, or from text files. A/XE can accept just about any format, from simple, line-based messages to XML messages and anything in between. An included set of metadata filters (small scripts, using the Lua scripting language) can be further edited and customized.
Processing by Omnia
Z/IPStream A/XE features adjustable wide-band AGC with a three-band compressor/limiter, IIF EQ and low-pass filter, and a precision look-ahead final limiter to prevent clipping. Resulting streams are cleaner, clearer, and with more presence and detail.
