MaxxStream is a software-based audio processor which provides audio conditioning for live content as it is encoded and streamed onto the Internet. It consists of the MaxxStream SW application and network elements that allow remote monitoring & control.

The audio originates from the ASIO/WDM sound card and fed into the MaxxStream application, which runs up to 8 Waves plug-ins for audio processing. Then, the audio is fed into a Waves Virtual Driver, which serves as bridge between MaxxStream and the encoding software. The audio may also be split and directed to a monitoring card simultaneously. Finally, the encoding application encodes the audio and streams it to the Internet..

MaxxStream uses Waves plug-ins to process & stabilize audio signals. MaxxStream always accepts stereo input and produces stereo output. If a mono input is selected, the MaxxStream duplicates the single channel to produce a stereo input.

The Waves Virtual Driver is a WDM audio streaming driver which provides MaxxStream connectivity to software applications which accept WDM audio input (e.g. Windows Media Encoder). This driver is especially designed to be synchronized with the audio card clock, and to provide a smooth audio stream to the encoder.

MaxxStream is equipped with a Watchdog utility which restarts the application in case of a crash, using a pre-determined setup. The Watchdog can also detect application freeze non-responsive, in which case it first terminates the application and then restarts it.

MaxxStream is equipped with basic SNMP control and monitoring, based on the net-snmp open source SNMP agent. SNMP provides the means to monitor and control MaxxStream behavior from a remote machine using standard SNMP client software.
The MaxxStream MIB is implemented as a table. Each row in the table corresponds to a single MaxxStream instance, identified by the Instance ID.
MaxxStream provides SNMP access to the following information:
• MaxxStream Instance ID (read-only)
• Station Name (read-only)
• Loaded Preset File (read-write)
• Station keep-alive counter (read-only)
• Station Row Status (read-only) indicates whether or not the MaxxStream instance is running.
