Fire/EMS Windows Media Feed With Scanner Display

Radio: Uniden BC246T Software: BC246T Advanced Virtual Control, display streamed via Windows Media Encoder 9. Scanlist:

Windows Media Feed

• Scanner Feed With Scanner Display - Windows Media Player
• 15-20 second delay from actual transmission.
• Uses scanner display from ProScan software, embedded into Windows Media Encoder.

The Windows Media feed will provide you with audio and the scanner display, but has about a 15 to 20 second delay from real time activity. It is provided via a free streaming server at StreamWebtown.

Audio Only Scanner Feed

• Link to feed
• Opens your default audio player
• Approximate 60 second delay from actual transmission.

This feed is streamed from my radio room to a remote commercial Shoutcast server at Wavestreaming. We pay $4 a month for server space. A maximum of 10 clients can be connected. Your default media player will open when you click the link. This could be Windows Media Player, Winamp, ITunes, Musicmatch Jukebox, Real Player, etc. Remember, no scanner display with this one. The 60 second delay is normal for the Shoutcast Server.

The Scan Cape Cod Teamspeak feed remains available as well and is another alternative for near real time (about 1 second delay) feed audio. The Teamspeak Client is of course necessary.

Miscellaneous

• 1. I am not responsible for anything you are hearing on the feed.
• 2. With ProScan and Teamspeak the feed audio is received by you in near real time. However with the Windows Media feed there is a slight delay (average of about 15-20 seconds) from the time the scanner receives the audio until the time you hear it. This is inevitable due to the processing and transferral of the signal. With the audio only feed a 60 second delay exists.
• 3. Remember, you are listening to a scanner. Unfortunately you don't have control of stopping it for the "hot" calls. No way around that one, sorry! The special event feed may be activated to cover a "hot" event, provided I am in the radio room to do so.
• 4. While I will be happy to provide answers (if I have them) to routine questions regarding this service I can not and will not offer much if anything in the way of software support. If you are experiencing problems you will need to do the necessary research to discover and eliminate the problem. Again, when the problem is on my end for whatever reason, I will make every effort to post an explanation on the message board at the website.
