| Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
| Stream Parameters | |
URL | Type the Stream URL from which the Zixi Broadcaster will access. |
Video UDP Port | Specify the UDP port to be used for streaming the video. |
| Audio UDP Port | Specify the UDP port to be used for streaming the video. |
| Pad to bitrate | If the stream's bitrate fluctuates you can pad the stream with null packets to create a steady bitrate. This setting determines the padding level in kbps. |
| Latency | Specify the maximum latency you can tolerate for the stream in milliseconds. Recommended - the length of two frames. |
| TCP | Select this checkbox for streams that use TCP protocol. Leave unselected in case the stream uses UDP. |
| Enable time shift | Select this checkbox to record the stream content and broadcast it after the specified delay. |
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 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. |
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. |
