The files can be downloaded using the Zixi Protocol, through the Zixi Broadcaster UI. 

To download a fileInstead of downloading files from the server on which Zixi Broadcaster is installed, it is possible to use Zixi Broadcaster to retrieve the file from a remote HTTP server. Zixi Broadcaster converts the remote server URL to an Accelerated URL. By using this accelerated URL to download the file, Zixi Broadcaster will retrieve the file from the remote server and use the Zixi Protocol to transfer the file to the Client. 

To generate an accelerated URL:

  1. In Zixi Broadcaster, click the Files Files tab.
  2. Under Destinations, navigate to the desired file.
  3. Hover your mouse over the desired file and click Download.
