ParameterDescription

Name

Specify the unique name of the stream.

Type

Specify the output type.

Input


Input Name

Specify the Input which has been previously configured as Input in the Feeder.

Program

If you have created a filter, you can select the relevant program.

Filter

If you have created a filter, you can select the relevant filter.

ParametersProperties


GroupIf your deployment includes a DNS Load Balancer, it is possible to group multiple outputs into a single Output Group. See Output Groups for more details.

Stream ID

Specify the unique Stream ID that the Broadcaster expects.

Note: Must be identical to the one configured on the Broadcaster.

Password


Optional. Specifies a password string that can be used to authenticate that the Feeder is allowed to push this stream to the configured Zixi Broadcaster. Only a Feeder who has the Password and the Stream ID of the input stream that was configured on the Broadcaster can stream into it.
Max bitrate [kbps]

Specify the maximum bitrate of the stream.

Note: Will be used for internal memory allocation and will not affect the transmitted bitrate.

Recommended: double the bitrate of the stream..

Max Latency latency [ms]Specify the maximum number of milliseconds for which the Zixi Broadcaster should buffer the stream. Default: 6000

Ignore TLS certificate

Click this checkbox to Ignore TLS certificate errors for this stream.

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.

Default: 2088.

IP

Specify the local IP address. The default enables Any IP address.

Bond Links

Click this check box checkbox to split the stream into multiple links, which will be forwarded to a single Zixi Broadcaster.

Max Bitrate (for Bond Links enabled)

Relevant for Bond Links option. Specify the max bitrate in Kbps for the specific link.

Max Bitrate 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 bandwidth of the non-backup links is not sufficient.

Advanced Properties


PCR Smoothing delay (ms)

Enables transmission of the output at the correct rate. Required when the receiving device is sensitive and can’t lock on to the stream (in such a case, the recommended latency is 100 - 1000 ms).

Encryption Type

Specify the type of Encryption. Options are: None (default), AES 128, AES 192, AES 256 or Automatic. Selection of Automatic will generate the encryption and exchange it securely between the applications automatically.

DSCP

Specify …tbd

ECN

Select… tbd Options are: Non-ECT (default), ECT0 or ECT1.

RTMP input feedback

Click this checkbox to …

Encodr

tbd

Encoder feedback script

Click this checkbox to receive reports back to the encoder about the current available bitrate according to Zixi’s network condition analysis. Supporting encoders will adjust their output bitrate accordingly (adaptive bitrate). 
Note: for supporting encoders only.

Remote RTMP Output

Note: Allow automatic RTMP option must be enabled on the Broadcaster.

URL

Specify the Stream URL of the remote RTMP server.

Backup URL

Specify a backup URL (similar to the primary URL) in case the primary RTMP server is faulty, then the Broadcaster will switch and stream to the backup one.

Stream

Specify the unique name for the stream that the RTMP server expects at the other end of the connection.

Username

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.

Hot Backup

Click this checkbox to set the Broadcaster to output to the 2 RTMP servers (Primary & Backup) in parallel.
