To Add a an HTTP Pull Stream:
- In the Zixi Broadcaster Navigation menu, click the Inputs tab.
- In the Menu bar, click New Input. The Add a new input stream window is displayed.
Enter the unique Stream I.D.for the Broadcaster.

- Select the maximum concurrent connections to this stream from the Max. Outputs drop-down list. Default: Unlimited.
- Select the Show in Matrix check box to display this stream in the Matrix (see Using the Matrix). Default: Selected.
- Select HTTP Pull for the input stream.
- Specify the Stream Parameters (see Input Stream Parameter Table).

- If you want to configure the Recording Parameters, specify them in the respective fields (see Input Stream Parameter Table).
