The configuration of ZEN Master for basic live distribution involves the following steps:

1. Resources Configuration – the following resources are configured in ZEN Master:
   • Configuration of Zixi Feeder

1. • – a Zixi Feeder is added and the connection between the Feeder and ZEN Master is configured.
   • Configuration of Broadcaster Cluster - a Broadcaster Cluster is added and the connection between the Broadcaster and ZEN Master is configured.
   • Configuration of Zixi Receiver - a Zixi Receiver is added and the connection between the Zixi Receiver and ZEN Master is configured.
2. ZEN Master Entities Configuration – ZEN Master manages the following entities across the distribution flow:
   • Configuration of Sources –

1. • Sources are the input streams, which are managed in ZEN Master. A

1. • Source can originate from a Zixi Feeder, a Zixi Broadcaster or an external

1. • Source, such as external encoder, or an external Zixi Feeder that has not been configured in the ZEN Master system. In our case, we will configure a

1. • Source from a Zixi Feeder that has been added to ZEN Master.
   • Configuration of Channels –

1. • Channels are a combination of one or more

1. • Sources that are processed by the assigned Broadcaster cluster (e.g. transcoding, creation of an adaptive channel, etc.) or passed-through to a

1. • Target. In our case, we will configure the

1. • Channel as a Pass-Through

1. • Channel.
   • Configuration of Targets – A

1. • Target defines the destination of a

1. • Channel (e.g. to a S3 bucket, to a Zixi Receiver, to another Zixi Broadcaster). In our case, we will configure a Pull Target, which will be pulled by Zixi Receiver.
