You can view all the accumulative statistics for a connected input stream in real-time. It is possible to reset the counters by clicking Reset. The statistics may differ between the various stream types.
To View Stream Statistics:
- On the Inputs page of ZiXi Zixi Broadcaster, click the desired incoming input stream for which you want to view statistics for. The stream’s statistics are displayed on the bottom of the screen.

| Field | Description |
|---|---|
Bitrate (kbps) | Displays the current bitrate of the input stream. |
Uptime | Displays the amount of time the stream has been active. |
Reconnections | Displays the number of reconnection attempts. |
| Total Packets | Displays the total number of packets that have been transmitted. |
Packet Rate | Displays the current number of packets per second |
| Remuxing Resets | Remuxing resets can occur when remuxing to CBR (i.e value of ‘Remux to bitrate’ field is set). In this case, the value is not high enough to remux the video+audio+other PIDs data. A possible solution is to increase value of the ‘Remux to bitrate’ parameter. |
| Remuxing Overflows | This indicates that the multiplexer internal queues are full. |
| Smoothing Drops | 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 drops indicator indicates that the stream is too "bursty". |
RTT (ms) | Displays the Round Trip Time (RTT) from the source (in milliseconds). |
Jitter (ms) | Displays the current Jitter, measured in milliseconds. |
| Congestion | Displays an estimation of the communication's congestion level – '0' means congestion free, '100' means fully congested. |
Latency (ms) | Displays the stream latency configured on the source Feeder. |
Total Packets | Displays the total number of packets that have been transmitted. |
Packet Rate | Displays the current number of packets per second. |
Packet Loss % | Displays current percentage of the packets that were dropped on route from the source. |
Dropped Packets | Displays the total number of packets dropped between the Feeder and the Broadcaster since the beginning of the stream. |
Recovered Packets | Displays the number of dropped packets that have been recovered since the beginning of the stream. |
Non Recovered Packets | Displays the number of non-recovered packets. |
| Consecutive Drops | The number of packets that were dropped in a row. When consecutive packets are dropped that could imply burst loss, as opposed to a sustained % of loss that would imply congestion. |
FEC Packets | Displays the number of FEC packets transmitted. |
FEC Recovered | Displays the number of FEC packets recovered. |
ARQ Requests | Displays the number of requests for retransmission of dropped packets made with ARQ. |
ARQ Recovered | Displays the number of dropped packets recovered via ARQ. |
| ARQ Out of Credit | Displays the number of retransmission requests skipped because it hits a limit, which protects from floods of retransmissions when many packets are missing. |
ARQ Duplicates | Displays the number of duplicate recovery packets received via ARQ. |
Overflows | The number of packets lost due to buffer overflow. |
Consecutive Not Recovered | Displays the maximal number of consecutive "not recovered packets" in the last measurement period (1 second). This measurement this can help identify long streaks of unrecovered packets, which it is not possible to see by just looking at the global "not recovered" counter. |
