Audio over IP encoder with line level and S/PDIF audio inputs, low power, MP3 and PCM, u-law, and a-law support. Support for Multicast and operation as a shoutcast source.
The Instreamer 100 IP Audio Encoder reliably encodes an audio source into an MP3 or PCM audio stream using HTTP, RTP, UDP, or TCP protocols, including multicast support. It features a stereo line-level input as well as S/PDIF optical and coaxial inputs, headphone jack, and low power consumption. The device is ideally suited as a shoutcast source, analog source input for IP Audio distribution systems, and encoding device for an IP speaker background channel.

Software applications available
Various application specific firmware packages with different feature sets are available and can be installed on Instreamer devices. Here is a partial list of available firmware packages:
- Generic IP Audio encoder with shoutcast/icecast source, metadata generation, including TCP, RTP, shoutcast, HTTP, multicast streaming interfaces
- Confidence monitoring encoder with under/over-modulation monitoring and SNMP trap alerts
- Security listening device, environmental audio monitor/encoding
- BGM/Music on Hold encoder for VoIP phone systems and paging systems
Typical software features (details in each software description) are:
- Streaming support with UDP, RTP, TCP, Multicast
- Browser based configuration and User Interface
- Control Interface via Serial, TCP, UDP, CGI
- User programmable in ABCL (Audio Barix Control Language, which is very similar to BASIC)
