Automatically creates an RTMP output without the need to define it in the Output screen. This works in tandem with Zixi Feeder (Remote RTMP Output setting, which enables sending a Zixi-protected stream to Zixi Broadcaster and then Zixi Broadcaster automatically outputs the stream as RTMP) and SDK (which includes a zixi_rtmp_out_config option). By enabling this option, the RTMP streams will be automatically created as they arrive into Zixi Broadcaster and displayed in the Output screen
