In this mode Zixi Broadcaster will receive a Transport Stream over TCP from an HTTP server. In this case, the stream is initiated by the source HTTP Server, while the Zixi Broadcaster remains in “listening mode” until the stream (with the specified stream ID) is initiated.

| Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
| Stream Parameters | |
| Smoothing | The Smoothing feature uses a buffer to time packets according to the stream's clock. This is useful when there are bursts in the rate in which the stream arrives. The smoothing features creates a queue in the buffer, allowing smoother entry into the Broadcaster. The Smoothing parameter defines the size of the buffer in Milliseconds. A larger the buffer, will enable smoother entry, however may influence the latency rate. |
| Enable time shift | Select this checkbox to record the stream content and broadcast it after the specified delaya specified delay. To deploy an input stream that uses the current stream's time shift, you need to configure a "Delayed" input stream. (See Adding Delayed Streams). |
| Maximum delay [hh:mm:ss] | Specify the time of the delayed transmission of this stream. Maximum: 24 hours. |
| Transmit as multicast | Select this checkbox to enable the transmission of this stream’s outputs as multicast. A Zixi receiver that will pull the stream will receive it in multicast. By default Zixi Broadcaster is configured to allow transparent fallback to unicast if it is out of the LAN. Requires enabling Multicast Pull in the Settings. |
| Multicast Only | Selecting this checkbox will force the transmission of this stream only in multicast. |
Decrypt stream | Select this checkbox to decrypt the Input stream. Please note that the stream will not be encrypted as it passes through the Zixi path. For more information, see Decrypting an Input Stream in Zixi Broadcaster. |
Decryption type (for Decrypt stream enabled) | Specify the type of encryption that is being used in the stream. |
Decryption key (for Decrypt stream enabled) | Specify the key for decryption. |
Enable Encryption | Select this checkbox to encrypt 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 (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 | Select this checkbox to customize the recording parameters. |
| Max recorded file duration [hours] | Specify the maximum time allotted for recording a video stream. Default: 2 hours |
| Keep recorded files for [hours] | Specify the maximum time for storing the recording. Default: 0 hours |
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:
For example, the following pattern %Y_recording%T.ts will generate the following file name 2017_recording15:32:35.ts. |
