The Stream Monitor is a brand new rebroadcasting function that monitors Shoutcast or Icecast streams, and as soon as they become online, instantly broadcasts them on air.

You can set up as many streams as you like, and also assign priorities, so only the stream(s) with the highest priority (lowest value) will go on air.

Using the new High Priority input of the encoder (see below), the sound of the mAirList players is faded out automatically while a monitored stream is being played. You can also use Actions to stop the automation etc.

Song title updates received by the incoming stream are automatically rebroadcasted to all outgoing stream connections.

In addition to the existing inputs (Player, Line, Mic), the encoder comes with a couple of new input options now:

• Secondary player input: Works exactly like the existing Player input; can be used when you need different sound processing for particular players (e.g. for a distinct advertising player).
• High Priority player input: Another input that can be used for players. As soon as something is playing on this input, all other inputs are faded out and muted (fade duration can be adjusted in config). Works hand in hand with the new Stream Monitor feature to build an unattended auto-DJ box with automatic rebroadcasting of incoming DJ streams.
• Aux input: An additional sound card input; works like Mic and Line, but has no button in the screen object; must be turned on or off using actions.

All inputs have their own DSP chain, of course, and all player inputs support multi-region content (if your mAirList licenses permits).

The Remote Control Console, found in the menu next to the About button in the toolbar, logs all incoming remote control commands, and also has an input field where you can select or type any remote comamnd and execute it instantly. Great for testing your custom remote gear.
