A Barix Instreamer ICE can be configured to broadcast live audio through Radio Mast. This guide will explain how to configure your Barix Instreamer ICE to connect and broadcast to a Radio Mast stream.
Note that the Instreamer ICE is different from the Barix Instreamer. This guide is for the ICE model only. For the regular Instreamer, please follow our Barix Instreamer guide here.
Before we begin, there are a few prerequisites you need:
Follow the steps below to configure your encoder to connect to Radio Mast. The relevant settings are split into two different pages on the Barix, so we'll configure it in two steps:
We'll need to enter your stream's connection details into your Barix box, so let's find those in your Radio Mast account. Log into Radio Mast, and click Streams on the left, then the name of your stream. You will see the information listed under Stream Connection Information. Keep this information handy for the next steps.
Visit your Barix Instreamer ICE's IP address in your web browser, and click the "Stream" tab at the top.
Click Edit to start configuring the stream. Enter the following settings:
/
character.ingest-yyz.radiomast.io
(or choose the closest ingest server to you. The available choices will be shown in your Radio Mast Stream Connection Information.)80
or 8000
Click OK or Apply to save and apply your changes.
Click Apply to save your changes, and confirm under the Home tab that the Barix connects successfully. It may take a few seconds for the connection to be established, but you should see the VU meters move and the Status say STREAMING once it is connected.
You can verify your stream is live by clicking the Listen button back on your stream's Overview tab Radio Mast. Your stream will be live and listenable instantly once your Barix is connected. If you get a "Stream Offline" error from Radio Mast, then double check the settings on your Barix.
