The HTTP Push output stream can be encapsulated in HLS or DASH. The source of the output stream is a predefined adaptive group that has been configured in the ZEC Adaptive Groups screen. The configuration of the stream includes the option to delete outdated stream fragments on the server. SCTE-35 markers in the source input will be preserved and used to segment the stream for both HLS and DASH encapsulation. Output streams can be pushed to one ZECs or ZEC.
