ParameterDescription
Stream Parameters

Type

Select the desired type for the RTMP stream:

  • Push – the stream is pushed to the Zixi Broadcaster (not initiated by the Zixi Broadcaster). No additional connection parameters need to be filled.
  • Pull – Zixi Broadcaster will initiate the stream by accessing it through the following parameters:

URL

Type the Stream URL from which the Zixi Broadcaster will access.

In Pull mode you can define RTMPS clients with the proven security of a secure socket layer (SSL), by using the rtmps:// url

Stream Name

Type the unique name for the stream that has been defined in the RTMP server.

User Name

Specify the User name to authenticate on the remote RTMP server

Password

Specify the string that is used for authorization on the remote RTMP server.

Disconnect if inactiveDisconnects if inactive.

Enable time shift

Enables a delayed transmission of this input.

Maximum delay [hh:mm:ss] (for Time Shift enabled)

Specify the maximum time delay of this input.

Transmit as multicast

Enables transmission of this stream’s outputs as multicasts. A Zixi receiver will receive it in multicast (unless it is out of the LAN in which case it will relay in as unicast). You can also force Multicast only outputs. Requires enabling Multicast Pull in the Settings.

Multicast Only (for Multicast enabled)

Select the check box to force only Multicast outputs.

Encryption Parameters

Encryption type

Enable encryption

Encrypts 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

Displays the generated encrypted key which

(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

Max recorded file duration [hours]

Specifies the maximum time allotted for recording a video stream. Default: 2 hours

Keep recorded files for [hours]

Specifies the maximum time for storing the recording.

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.

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

For example, the following pattern %Y_recording%T.ts will generate the following file name 2017_recording15:32:35.ts.
