Synchronized audio streaming module for Tiger E3/E5
The TigerSync Streamer solution by AxelTech offers a way to distribute audio to FM transmitters via web technologies using IceCast, a reliable and flexible protocol.
IceCast can handle thousands of connections and allows up to 15,000 users to listen without interruptions when the audio is uploaded to a cloud server. This protocol is unsuitable for traditional broadcasting as it is not synchronous and can result in a 1 to 5-second difference for users listening to the same radio broadcast. For instance, when the FM Tuner is equipped with automatic frequency control (RDS-AF) while driving, the seamless transition between the transmitters is imperative for ensuring an uninterrupted listening experience for the user.
AxelTech’s R&D efforts have been focused on ensuring that this technology is compatible with broadcasting needs. With the TigerSync Streamer option, a Tiger E5 Encoder serves as the network’s hub, handling the encoding process and transmitting the signal to an IceCast server. This can be the Tiger‘s internal IceCast server, with a limited number of reception points (up to 15) due to the Tiger‘s resource constraints, or an IceCast server set up on a Linux cloud server.
With TigerSync Streamer we have implemented a sophisticated method for synchronizing audio using inaudible timestamp codes. These codes are transmitted through the Opus codec at rates ranging between 32Kbits/sec to 510 Kbits/sec (or MP3 192kbits-320kbits/sec) and then distributed via an IceCast Server. On the receiving end, the Tiger devices capture the IceCast stream and timestamp data, ensuring precise synchronization for audio playback. As a result of this synchronization approach, there is a consistent delay lasting anywhere from 1.0 to 10 seconds, with the optimal latency falling within the range of 2 to 3 seconds. This fixed audio latency remains uniform across all decoding Tiger units in comparison to the encoding units, resulting in a reception delay. However, TigerSync
