Output streams can be pushed to one or more Zixi Broadcasters and Zixi Receivers. You can specify multiple destinations (Broadcasters/Receivers) by adding them in the Links section. You can also split a single stream using multiple links and then bond them into a single stream in Zixi Broadcaster using the Bond Links feature. For each of these links, you can specify the max bitrate that can be used. In addition, some links may be specified as backups. The backup links will be used if the bandwidth across all the non-backup links are not enough for the stream (i.e. if a non-backup link is not available, it will not use the backup. Only if the accumulated bandwidth of non-backup links is not enough, then the Broadcaster will stream to a backup link).

| Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
| Output Parameters | |
| Links | |
Host | The destination host for the push stream. Note: additional failover destinations can be added by clicking the adjacent “+” button. |
Port | Specify the ports to listen on for Push streams. |
| IP | Specify the local IP address. |
Max Bitrate (for Bond Links enabled) | Relevant for Bond Links option. Specify the max bitrate in Kbps for the specific link. |
Bond Links | Click this check box to split the stream into multiple links, which will be forwarded to a single Zixi Broadcaster. |
Backup (for Bond Links enabled) | Relevant for Bond Links option. Select this checkbox to define the link as a backup. The backup will be used only if the accumulated bandwith of the non-backup links is not sufficient. |
Stream ID | Specify the unique Stream ID that the remote Zixi Broadcaster expects. |
Password | Optional - Specify a string to be used at the receiving Zixi Broadcaster to authenticate that the pushing Broadcaster is allowed to push this stream. |
Max Latency [ms] | Specify the buffer size that Zixi Broadcaster is keeping for error correction. For example, 6000 milliseconds would ensure that the stream is protected for six seconds of errors in the network. Default:6000 |
Ignore TLS certificate errors | When the Zixi Broadcaster acts as a client (e.g. streaming to another Zixi Broadcaster), there is an option to Ignore TLS certificate errors for the HTTP Push output. This means that even when the Zixi Broadcaster that receives the stream doesn’t have a valid certificate, the stream will be transmitted to it using DTLSSelect this option when streaming to a trusted server that does not have a valid certificate. When this option is selected, Zixi Broadcaster will ignore the TLS certificate errors and transmit the stream to its destination. |
