This enables the Broadcaster to send a UDP stream. The UDP stream is not protected by the Zixi protocol. The UDP streams can be one of the following types:
...
- In the Zixi Broadcaster Outputs page, click
. The New output window is displayed.
- Type in the unique identifier for this output in the Output Name.
- Select an Input Stream to be made available on this output from the drop-down list.
- Select the Show in Matrix check box to display this stream in the Matrix (see Using the Matrix). Default: Selected.
- Select UDP.
- Specify the Output parameters (see Output Stream Parameters Table).
- In the Host field, specify the IP address or URL of the stream destination.
- In the Port field, specify the port of the destination.
- If you want to remux the stream to CBR (used for professional IRDs) in order to avoid bandwidth waste, select Remuxing and configure the respective parameters (see Output Stream Parameters Table).
- Click OK.

| Parameter | Description | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Output Parameters | ||||
Host | Specify the destination IP address or URL. | |||
Port | Specify the target UDP port. | |||
TTL | Specify the time-to-live (TTL). Used mainly to limit the range (or “scope”) of a multicast transmission. Leaving it as blank uses the default value specified by the operating system. | |||
Smoothing [mms] | Enables transmission of the output at the correct rate. Required when the receiving device is sensitive and can’t lock on to the stream (in such a case, the recommended latency is 100 - 1000 ms). | |||
RTP | Enables use of the Real-time Transport Protocol. | |||
SMPTE 2022 FEC: | Disables the FEC or specifies the type of FEC matrix to D1/ D2. | |||
Bind to IP | Select from the drop-down list the local IP address to be used for this Output, OR select Any to enable any IP to be used. | Bind to NICSelect from the drop-down list the NIC to be used for this Output, OR select Any to enable any NIC to be used. | ||
Local Port | Specify from which local port to source the stream, if desired (instead of randomly chosen by the operating system). | |||
RIST | Select this checkbox to send RIST streams from any compliant RIST device. | |||
Max Latency [ms] | Specify the maximum latency of the stream in milliseconds. | |||
Remote Port | Specify the remote port in the RIST device. Default: 0 (any port) | |||
1.4 support | Compression | Fast Connect | Don’t Fragment | Select this option if you do not want to fragment IP packets in a stream. |
| ReMuxing | Select this checkbox to enable remuxing from VBR MPEG-TS to MPEG-TS CBR (used for professional IRDs). | |||
| Remux to bitrate [kbps]: | Specify the CBR bitrate to target for a remuxed stream. | |||
| Buffer Size [ms] | Specify the size of the buffer that will be used for the remixing. A larger buffer increases the quality, but also increases latency. | |||
| No NULL Packets | Select this option to re-multiplex the stream to CBR but remove the NULL packets in order to maintain low bitrate. | |||
| Enable Decryption | Select this checkbox to decrypt an encrypted stream. | |||
Decryption type | If the stream has been encrypted, you can decrypt through the output by selecting this checkbox and specifying the type of ecryption that was used. Select Automatic to decrypt a stream that has been encrypted using Automatic encryption. Only if the stream has not been encrypted, select None (default). Important Notice: if the stream has been encrypted you must decrypt it in the output. | |||
| Decryption key | If the decryption type includes a key, enter the key to decrypt the stream during output. | |||
| Enable IFB/Talkback | Select this checkbox to enable IFB/Talkback for one-way communication from the director or assistant director to on-air talent or a remote location. Selecting the checkbox allows the decoder with a Zixi Receiver to send audio back to the encoder with a Zixi Feeder. This offers the ability to, for example, give audio feedback to the camera operator. | |||
| Port | The port that will be used to send the audio feedback. |
