To Add Push to Broadcaster Output:
- On the Inputs page of ZiXi Feeder, click the desired row of the incoming stream to which you want to add new output.
- Click
button on the right end of the selected row and click New Output.
The New Output window with the settings of the selected input stream is displayed. You can modify any of these settings.
- Enter the unique Name that you want to configure on the Feeder.
- Select Push to Broadcaster as the Type of output.
Select the Input name from the drop-down list.
Info Note: The drop-down list consists of all those previously configured inputs on the Feeder.
- Select the Program from the drop-down list.
- Select the Filter for the output from the drop-down list.
- If your deployment includes a DNS Load Balancer, it is possible to group multiple outputs into a single Output Group. All the outputs created in Zixi Feeder within the same group and with the same host name, will be resolved into the same IP address. Enter the Properties parameters You can Create a New Output Group or Use an Existing Output Group.
- Enter the Parameters (see table below for additional parameters).
- If desired, enter the the Advanced Properties (see table below for additional parameters).
- If desired, enter the the Remote RTMP Output (see table below for additional parameters).
- Click Click OK.
The The New Output with with its new settings takes effect.

Parameter | Description | ||
|---|---|---|---|
Name | Specifies the unique name of the stream. | ||
Type | Specifies the output type. | ||
Input | |||
Input Name | Specifies 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 | ||
Parameters | Properties | ||
| Group | If 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. Must be identical to the one configured on the Broadcaster. | ||
Host | Specify the The destination Broadcaster name or IP address to which you are pushing the stream. Note that additional (failover) destinations can be added by clicking the adjacent “+” button.. | ||
Port | Specify the ports to listen on for Push streams. | ||
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] | Specifies the maximum bitrate of the stream. Note - will Will be used for internal memory allocation and will not affect the transmitted bitrate. Recommended: double the bitrate of the stream.. | ||
Max Latency [ms] | Specifies the maximum number of milliseconds for which the Zixi Broadcaster should buffer the stream. Default: 6000 | ||
MMT | Specify this standard that supports HEVC if required. [MPEG media transport is a digital container standard that supports High Efficiency Video Coding (HEVC) video] | ||
Single Link | Select this option if you wish to transmit the stream as a single broadcast channel. | ||
Host | Specifies the IP address of the Broadcaster to | which which you are transmitting. | |
Port | Specifies the Port number on which you are transmitting. Default: 2088 | ||
NIC | Specifies which one of the local Network cards are being used to transmit on the internet. Default: Any NIC | ||
Bonded Link Destination | Bonding links enables you to divide a stream into several network channels and then subsequently reunite them | at on the | Zixi Broadcaster’s side. |
Host | Specifies the IP address of the Broadcaster to which which you are transmitting. | ||
Port | Specifies the Port number on which you are transmitting. Default: 2088 | ||
NIC | Specifies which one of the local Network cards are being used to transmit on the internet. Default: Any NIC | ||
Bitrate Limit (kbps) | Specifies the maximum bitrate that will to be transmitted via this link. | ||
Backup | Backup NIC used only when primary links cannot satisfy connection or transmission bitrate requirements. | ||
Advanced Properties | |||
Alternative host | Specifies an alternative host for redundancy (in the event that the Feeder senses that host is not functioning). | ||
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. Selection of of Automatic will will generate the encryption and exchange it securely between the applications automatically. | ||
Key | Click Click Generate and and the encryption key for the input stream will appear in the adjacent text box. Send it to the end-user to decipher the received encoded stream. | ||
Run encoder feedback script | Reports back to the encoder the current available bitrate according to Zixi’s network condition analysis. Supporting encoders will adjust their output bitrate accordingly (adaptive bitrate). | ||
Minimum bitrate [kbps] | Specifies the minimum bitrate that will be reported to the encoder. | ||
Remote RTMP Output | Note: Allow automatic RTMP option must be enabled on the Broadcaster. | ||
URL | Specifies the Stream URL of the remote RTMP server. | ||
Backup URL | Specifies 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 | Specifies the unique name for the stream that the RTMP server expects at the other end of the connection. | ||
Username | Specifies the User name to authenticate on the remote RTMP server. | ||
Password | Specifies the string that is used for authorization on the remote RTMP server. | ||
Hot Backup | Specifies that the Broadcaster will output to the 2 RTMP servers (Primary & Backup) in parallel. |
