Use cases

When you need more than one stream at once

Four situations where running a separate computer per channel stops making sense. Find the one that matches yours.

🏨 Hotels and resorts

Every area with its own atmosphere

A lobby needs calm; the pool bar needs energy; the spa needs something almost inaudible. One playlist across the whole property never works. With ElaDyne each zone gets its own stream from a single machine in your server room.

  • A separate channel and volume for every zone
  • One licence instead of one computer per zone
  • Guests can listen to the hotel's own stream on their phones
  • Staff cannot tamper with it thanks to stealth mode

Pricing is per computer, not per channel — so a tenth channel costs nothing extra.

🛒 Retail chains

In-store radio, managed centrally

Different branches want different things: a different language, a different playlist, a regional ad break. Instead of installing a machine in every store, run all of the streams from head office and let each branch simply tune in.

  • A different stream per branch or per region
  • Ad breaks fed from the mixer straight into the stream
  • Branch managers monitor their own channel from the web player
  • When a stream drops, you see it centrally — not the customer
📻 Internet radio stations

The same show at several qualities

Not every listener has the same connection. Send your programme simultaneously at 128, 64 and 32 kbps and let each listener pick what their bandwidth can carry — all from one source, without touching your studio setup.

  • Multiple bitrates from a single audio source
  • An HE-AAC v2 stream for mobile listeners
  • Opus for low-latency talk shows
  • Backup server keeps you on air during outages

🎧 Streaming service providers

Dozens of clients from one machine

If you sell streaming as a service, every new client normally means new hardware. Here, adding a client means adding a channel — the marginal cost is close to zero, and your margin improves with every one you add.

  • Adding a channel needs no new hardware
  • Per-client codec and bitrate profiles
  • Give each client a sub-user account on the web player
  • Central monitoring of every client's status
