Panaudia Link is a macOS application that can be used to stream uncompressed multi-track audio in and out of a Panaudia Space.
You can stream Object Based Audio into a Space, sending in both broadcast quality audio streams and streams of XYZ position data.
You can stream multi-channel ambisonic audio out of a Space allowing you to present it in a multi-speaker auditorium.
Quality and Security
Panaudia Link has been designed to optimise for quality and security. This means that while it is not the lowest latency streaming client and requires a decent network connection, it does offer a robust solution for streaming broadcast quality spatial audio across the internet. It provides:
- Multiple tracks of uncompressed 32-bit audio at 48kHz.
- Quality-of-service control and forward error correction to maintain stable streaming.
- End-to-end encryption over our own VPNs.
Ease of Integration
Panaudia Link can easily integrate with most Mac audio software. It provides very simple, low level, interfaces.
We provide virtual audio devices for sending and receiving audio, allowing any software to easily connect without the need for adaptors or plugins. You can stream into a Panaudia Space from a live performance, out from your DAW or play in pre-recorded media.
To control the positions of object based audio sources we use the common OSC protocol, and we have adopted parts of the emerging immersive audio control standard ADM-OSC for most for our control messages.
