Stream Type Reference
| Stream Type | Packet Time | Samples/Packet | Channels | ~Mbps/Stream |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Standard | 5 ms | 240 | 2 (stereo) | ~2.43 |
| Livestream | 1 ms | 12 | 2 (stereo) | ~4.80 |
| Surround / 5.1 | 5 ms | 240 | 8 | ~9.70 |
| AES67 (default) | 1 ms | 48 | 2 (stereo) | ~4.80 |
All figures assume 48 kHz / 24-bit audio and include Ethernet, IP, UDP, and RTP header overhead.
