| Parameter | Description | |
|---|---|---|
| Stream Parameters | ||
Type | Select the desired type for the RTMP stream:
| |
URL | Type the Stream URL from which the Zixi Broadcaster will access. Use the following URL format: rtmp://host:[port]/app/stream. You can define RTMPS clients with the proven security of a secure socket layer (SSL), by using the rtmps:// url | |
Stream Name | Type the unique name for the stream that has been defined in the RTMP server. | |
User Name | Specify the user name to authenticate on the remote RTMP server | |
Password | Specify the password that is used for authorization on the remote RTMP server. | |
| Ignore TLS certificate | Select this option when connecting to a trusted server that does not have a valid certificate. When this option is selected, Zixi Broadcaster will ignore the TLS certificate errors. | |
| Disconnect if inactive | Disconnects the connection if inactive. | |
Enable time shift | Select this checkbox to record the stream content and broadcast it after a 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] (for Time Shift enabled) | Specify the maximum time delay of this input. | |
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 (for Multicast enabled) | Select the check box to force only Multicast outputs. | |
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 | Parametersparameters | Select this checkbox to customize the recording parameters. |
| Record to disk – the recording will be saved on the local disk. | ||
| 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. | |
| Max recorded file duration [hours] | SpecifiesSpecify the maximum time allotted for recording a video stream. Default: 2 hours | |
| Keep recorded files for [hours] | SpecifiesSpecify 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. | |
Record to S3 – the recording will be saved in an S3 bucket. | ||
| 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. | |
Max recorded file duration [hours] | Specify the maximum time allotted for recording a video stream. Default: 2 hours | |
| URL | Specify the URL of the S3 bucket. | |
| Ignore TLS certificate errors | TLS certificate for S3 bucket might be detected as faulty if bucket name contains dot[s]. When this option is selected, Zixi Broadcaster will ignore the TLS certificate errors and transmit the stream to its destination. | |
| Access Key | The access key that is used for accessing the S3 bucket. | |
| Secret Key | The secret key that is used for accessing the S3 bucket. |
