In this menu the demux of multiplexed audio sources is configured. This must be done before they can be used with the Demux source element. The following formats can be demuxed with aixtream:
- DAB
- DVB
- FM
- Multi-channel AES67 streams (AoIP)
- SDI
| E | Hardware requirements |
|
The following demux inputs require specialized hardware to be integrated into the aixtream system:
The following demux inputs only require a network port:
