| Parameter | Description | ||
|---|---|---|---|
| Stream Parameters | |||
| Password (Optional) | If desired, enter a password string to use for authentication (must be identical to the string configured on the Feeder)
| ||
| Latency [ms] | Specify the maximal latency that will override the latency that was defined in the Zixi Feeder (in ms). Default: Remote configuration (i.e. use the latency was set in the Zixi Feeder). (See Latency Considerations)
| ||
| Point to point only | Selecting this checkbox transmits the stream directly (point-to-point) from the Feeder to the Receiver, while only delivering messaging to the Broadcaster. In case there is a problem with the P2P connection, it will re-route the transmission through the Zixi Broadcaster. | ||
| Disable P2P Fallback | Selecting this checkbox will allow only P2P (disabling the option to re-route traffic though the Zixi Broadcaster) | ||
| ID of high priority source | Specify the ID of the Zixi Feeder for which you want to grant priority. The ID of the Zixi Feeder can be found in the ID field on the Zixi Feeder’s Status screen. Upon connection of the Zixi Feeder with this ID, all other existing sources will be disconnected. | ||
| Enable time shift | Select this checkbox to record the stream content and broadcast it after a specified delay. To deploy an input stream that uses the current stream's time shift, you need to configure a "Delayed" input stream. (See Adding Delayed Streams) | ||
| Maximum delay [hh:mm:ss] | Specify the time of the delayed transmission of this stream. Maximum: 24 hours. | ||
| Transmit as multicast | Select this checkbox to enable the transmission of this stream’s outputs as multicast. A Zixi receiver that will pull the stream will receive it in multicast. By default Zixi Broadcaster is configured to allow transparent fallback to unicast if it is out of the LAN. Requires enabling Multicast Pull in the Settings. | ||
| Multicast Only | Selecting this checkbox will force the transmission of this stream only in multicast. | ||
Decrypt stream | Select this checkbox to decrypt the Input stream. Please note that the stream will not be encrypted as it passes through the Zixi path. For more information, see Decrypting an Input Stream in Zixi Broadcaster. | ||
Decryption type (for Decrypt stream enabled) | Specify the type of encryption that is being used in the stream. | ||
Decryption key (for Decrypt stream enabled) | Specify the key for decryption. | ||
Enable Encryption | Select this checkbox to encrypt the Input stream. For more information, see Encrypting an Input Stream in Zixi Broadcaster. | ||
Encryption type (for Encryption enabled) | Specify the type of Encryption (AES 128/192/256). | ||
Encryption key (for Encryption enabled) | Click Generate to generate an encryption key. The generated encryption key must be sent to the end-user to decipher the received encoded stream. | ||
Recording parameters | Select this checkbox to customize the recording parameters. | ||
Destination Type | Select the radio button for the desired storage type and then fill in the relevant parameters.
| ||
Record to Disk Parameters | |||
File Name Template | Specify the file name pattern that Zixi will use to generate when saving the recorded content. A separate file will be generated for each recording up to the time specified in the Max recorded file duration parameter (see above). After this duration a new file will be generated. The file name pattern can include any string and up to five variables listed below. Only the %T=HH.MM.SS creation time is mandatory. You can change the order of these variables and add text as long as you maintain the legitimate structure of the file in Linux and Windows:
For example, the following pattern %Y_recording%T.ts will generate the following file name 2017_recording15:32:35.ts. | ||
Max recorded file duration [hours] | Specify the maximum time allotted for recording a video stream. Default: 2 hours | ||
Keep recorded files for [hours] | Specify the maximum time for storing the recording. Default: 0 hours | ||
Custom Path | Optionally specify a storage location for the recorded files that is relative to the root folder. This location bypasses the location specified as the root folder in the Settings > General screen. | ||
Record to S3 Parameters | |||
File Name Template | Specify the file name pattern that Zixi will use to generate when saving the recorded content. A separate file will be generated for each recording up to the time specified in the Max recorded file duration parameter (see above). After this duration a new file will be generated. The file name pattern can include any string and up to five variables listed below. Only the %T=HH.MM.SS creation time is mandatory. You can change the order of these variables and add text as long as you maintain the legitimate structure of the file in Linux and Windows:
For example, the following pattern %Y_recording%T.ts will generate the following file name 2017_recording15:32:35.ts. | ||
Max recorded file duration [hours] | Specify the maximum time allotted for recording a video stream. Default: 2 hours | ||
URL | Specify the URL of the S3 bucket. | ||
Ignore TLS certificate errors | TLS certificate for S3 bucket might be detected as faulty if bucket name contains dot[s]. When this option is selected, Zixi Broadcaster will ignore the TLS certificate errors and transmit the stream to its destination. | ||
Access Key | The access key that is used for accessing the S3 bucket. | ||
Secret Key | The secret key that is used for accessing the S3 bucket. | ||
