Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
Stream Parameters | |
Card | select the available ASI card from the drop-down list. Only the physical ASI cards which have been installed on the machine will appear in the drop-down list. |
Max bitrate | Specify the maximum expected bitrate for memory allocation. Recommended: 2X the actual bitrate, which will prevent buffer overruns (especially with VBR streams). Default: 8000. Note – Overflows will typically occur when the Max Bitrate isn’t sufficient. |
Read buffer | Specify the input read buffer to fill, before passing data to the application. Larger buffer size should be specified for higher bitrates; Smaller buffer size will be more responsive and smoother in lower bitrate streams. |
Smoothing latency | The Smoothing feature uses a buffer to time packets according to the stream’s clock. This is useful when there are bursts in the rate in which the stream arrives. The smoothing features creates a queue in the buffer, allowing smoother entry into the Broadcaster. The Smoothing parameter defines the size of the buffer in Milliseconds. A larger buffer enables smoother entry, however, it may influence the latency rate. |
Enable Encryption | Select this checkbox to encrypt the Input stream. For more information, see ZEC 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: · %S=stream id – optional. · %Y=year – optional · %M=month – optional · %D=day – optional · %T=HH.MM.SS creation time – mandatory · %U=YYYYmmddTHHMMSSZ UTC timestamp – optional For example, the following pattern %Y_recording%T.ts will generate the following file name 2017_recording15:32:35.ts. |
Max recorded file duration [HH:MM] | Specify the maximum time allotted for recording a video stream. Default: 2 hours |
Keep recorded files for [HH:MM] | 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: · %S=stream id – optional. · %Y=year – optional · %M=month – optional · %D=day – optional · %T=HH.MM.SS creation time – mandatory · %U=YYYYmmddTHHMMSSZ UTC timestamp – optional For example, the following pattern %Y_recording%T.ts will generate the following file name 2017_recording15:32:35.ts. |
Max recorded file duration HH:MM] | 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. |
