Perceptual SoundMax™ Q24Ser is supplied along with a high functionality SoundMax ManagerTM which allows for elaborate Configuration, Control, Monitoring and Tuning of multiple servers connected to a network. The presence of one or more Perceptual SoundMaxTM Servers on the network is automatically sensed by the SoundMax ManagerTM running on any computer connected to that network.
By using this manager, user has complete flexibility to configure and monitor the servers and streams on each server. SoundMaxTM Manager goes a step beyond providing full tuning controls for each processing channel.
Clicking on the tuning button brings about a multiband tuning screen, allowing control over the internal processing blocks such as 24-band Dynamic Range Compression, WideBand Noise Reduction, Intelligent Loudness Control, Stereo
Processing, Multiband Equalizer and audio sweetening tools such as Dynamic Listener Fatigue Reduction, Incoherent Component Suppression, Sibilant Fricative Smoothing. The range of controls include full control over numerous other
parameters such as compression /limiting /expansion/noise thresholds and attack/release times for each of the 24-bands. Processing profiles can be saved and instantaneously propagated across all streams and multiple servers.
SoundMaxTMServerware supports AAC codec with profiles LC & HE ( HEv1 & HEv2 ). Each channel can individually be configured for two different bitrates of AAC encoding format having either an LC profile or HE profile.
As per AAC industry standards, LC profile is applied for bitrates 128, 192 & 256, HEv1 profile is applied for bitrates 64 & 96 and HEv2 profile is applied for bitrate 32.
Perceptual SoundMaxTM Serverware also supports the distribution of audio stream of encoding format ( AAC& MP3 ) in Icecast/Shoutcast server media formats using Other Distribution Settings Panel.
