Streaming Protocol
TRAKTOR uses a streaming protocol called Icecast. The TRAKTOR software contains an
Icecast client, which can send data to an Icecast server.
To use this feature, you need access to a computer running as an Icecast server. It is rec
ommended that this computer has an Internet connection with at least 128 kb/s upstream
transfer rate. The available bandwidth is being shared among the listeners, so it should be
as high as possible.
► To learn how to set up an Icecast server, read on the Icecast website in the “Docs”
area:
http://www.icecast.org/docs.php
To learn more about this streaming protocol and how to setup a server, please refer to the
official Icecast homepage (www.icecast.org).
Mac OS X users: Icecast only works on Windows and Linux. For Broadcasting with a Mac
