Pass-Through channels do not involve any actual processing to the stream. A Pass-Through Channel with a single source Source simply sends the source Source to an output. A Pass-Through channel Channel with multiple sources Sources creates redundancy by defining parallel streams from multiple sources Sources as a single entity. This ensures that if one Source becomes inactive the stream will be automatically transmitted from the parallel sourceSource. To learn more about redundancy in ZEN Master see Redundancy in ZEN Master.

   Access Tags are used for access control. By selecting an Access Tag you are relating this Channel to that Access Tag. Access Tags are associated with certain roles (through the Users & Roles screen), and roles, in turn, are associated with users and user groups.

6. In the Configuration section, in the Processing Cluster field, select from the drop-down list one of the Channel Processing clusters that has been configured in ZEN Master. The selected cluster will be used to process this channelChannel.   

   Info
   If the source Source does not exist in the cluster, then the cluster will pull the source Source automatically.

   
   

7. In the Primary Source field, select from the drop-down list the desired primary sourceSource.

8. In the Secondary Source field, if you would like to configure a backup source Source for redundancy, select from the drop-down list the desired secondary sourceSource. (Optional field).
