Stream Parameters

...

Parameter

...

Selecting this checkbox transmits the stream directly (point-to-point) from the Feeder to the Receiver, while only delivering messaging to the Broadcaster.

...

Selecting this checkbox enables 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.

Push Stream

  5. If you want to record the stream, you can configure the Recording Parameters (see table below for additional parameters).
  6. Click OK.
