Live Encoding

Your studio sends it. We broadcast it.

Cast Cloud Live is built for stations that already produce live audio -- whether from a professional broadcast console, a hardware encoder, or encoding software on a PC.

The workflow is straightforward: your station produces audio, your encoder compresses it to MP3, AAC+, or OGG at up to 320 kbps, and sends the stream directly to your Cast Cloud Live server. No intermediate steps -- your audio arrives exactly as you send it.

Hardware encoders like the Barix Instreamer connect directly to your audio console output and require no PC at all -- ideal for unmanned transmitter sites or studios where simplicity and reliability are essential.

When you sign up, we provide your server hostname, port number, mount point, and password. Enter these into your encoder and you are live within minutes.

FAQ

Questions? We have answers.

Everything a broadcaster needs to know before going live on Cast Cloud Live.

What is Centova Cast? +
Centova Cast is the world most widely used internet radio server management platform. Think of it as mission control for your online radio station -- it manages your streaming server, music library, playlist schedule, encoder logins, analytics, and more, all through a browser-based dashboard.
How does my station connect to Cast Cloud Live? +
Once your account is activated, we provide your server hostname, port number, mount point, and password. You enter these credentials into your encoder -- hardware or software -- and you are live. The process takes only a few minutes regardless of which encoder you use.
What encoders are compatible with Cast Cloud Live? +
Any SHOUTcast or Icecast-compatible encoder works. This includes hardware devices like the Barix Instreamer as well as software such as Rocket Broadcaster, BUTT, SAM Broadcaster, Mixxx, Virtual DJ, Nicecast, and many more.
Do I need technical experience to run a station? +
None at all. Centova Cast is designed for broadcasters of all skill levels. The dashboard guides you through every task, and our knowledge base covers everything from configuring your first encoder to setting up a complex weekly schedule.
Will my station stay on air if my encoder disconnects? +
Yes. If your encoder disconnects for any reason, AutoDJ kicks in automatically and keeps your station broadcasting until your encoder reconnects. When you come back on air, AutoDJ steps aside and your live feed resumes instantly -- no gaps, no silence.
Can I embed a player on my own website? +
Yes. Cast Cloud Live provides embeddable JavaScript widgets and a customizable HTML5 player. Drop the provided code snippet into any webpage and your station plays live on your site.
What audio formats and bitrates are supported? +
Cast Cloud Live supports MP3, AAC+, and OGG Vorbis streaming formats at up to 320 kbps -- the highest quality available for internet radio streaming.
Can my station be listed on iOS and Android apps? +
Mobile app listings and CarPlay and Android Auto directory listings are available as premium add-ons for Cast Cloud Live subscribers. Contact us at [email protected] for pricing and details.
What is GeoIP country locking and do I need it? +
GeoIP locking lets you restrict or allow listener access based on their country. This is essential for stations with territorial music licensing restrictions -- for example, if your license only covers listeners in the United States, you can block access from other countries.
Do you offer a discount for annual billing? +
Yes! When you pay annually you save up to 14% compared to month-to-month. Local Station drops to $12/mo, Regional Station to $21/mo, and Large Market Station to $54/mo -- all billed as a single annual payment.
Can I upgrade or cancel my plan at any time? +
Yes -- monthly plans are month-to-month with no long-term contracts. Upgrades take effect immediately; downgrades apply at the start of your next billing cycle. There are no setup fees or cancellation penalties.
I already broadcast on AM/FM -- can I also stream online? +
Absolutely. Many of our Large Market Station customers use Cast Cloud Live to simulcast their existing AM or FM broadcast. Your encoder connects to our server and streams your live broadcast simultaneously to internet listeners anywhere in the world.

Your station. Live in the cloud.

No setup fees. No contracts. Full Centova Cast power from day one.
