LUCI Knowledge Base

Add / Edit station

By choosing Add / Edit station you will see the dialog for setting up a new station, or changing the selected station.

 

Your new station will at first use the same settings as the currently loaded station.

name : 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.

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.

destination : The connection details of the server/studio codec.

For protocol RTP
Use an IP-address or URL, combined with a : and the IP port number,
examples: 83.163.21.56:5042 or echo.lucilive.com:5042
For Protocol SIP *
Use CODEC@SIPSERVER or CODEC (when there is no SIPserver) where SIPSERVER is the URL or IP-address of the SIPserver.
examples: echo@iptel.org or 102409@167.45.7.234 or 102.78.90.45
For protocol RTP Multicast Source
Use an IP-address or URL, combined with a : and the IP port number,
examples: 224.10.1.1:7006 or multicastdns.lucilive.com:7006
For protocol RTP Multicast Receiver
Use an IP-address or URL, combined with a : and the IP port number,
examples: 224.10.1.1:7006 or multicastdns.lucilive.com:7006,
or sourceIP,multicastIP:port for Source Specific Multicast , example: 192.168.1.10,224.10.10.10:7001.
For Protocol Shoutcast or Icecast
Use an IP-address or URL.
examples: 83.163.21.56 or shoutcast.lucilive.com

stun : Only valid for the SIP protocol, when needed.
Use an IP-address or URL.
examples: 83.163.21.56 or stun.iptel.org

default : Only valid for the SIP protocol, when needed. Switch on if you want to use the credentials of the default user that you have set in ‘Options > SIP > Defaults’

user : Your username is the name you use to login at your server. Only fill in username if you want to log in to a SIP, Shoutcast or Icecast server.

password : Your password is your personal log on credential belonging to your username. Passwords are used only together with usernames for logging in to SIP, Shoutcast or Icecast servers.

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.

format : Select here one of the following audio 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

stereo : Default is Mono. Only Android devices that *support the latest audio driver AAudio and have 2 internal microphones, stream in real stereo, all other will stream the mono input on both channels.

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.

Samplerate : Default value 48KHz. Set Sample-rate of the codec format you selected for the outgoing stream.

Talk Back mode ( Push to Talk ) : Kind of Walkie-Talkie mode to be able to only listen, and only talkback by pressing a button. Similar to a Talk button on a studio mixing console. For live studio music mix / voice-over producers reviews or other applications were you do not want to use headphones.
