You can delay the broadcasting of an input stream by selecting Enable time shift and then creating a Delayed input stream that uses the Input with the time shift as a source. In this case the input stream will be stored on the local disk, while a variant of the input is created and delayed according to the specified duration. The input stream of the time-shifted stream will be stored on the local disk. In parallel, you can create a "Delayed" stream that will stream the "time-shifted" input stream according to the specified delay. For example, you can specify a 6-hour time-shift to "stream_Stream A". This means that 6 hours of streaming are stored. You can then create a delayed stream that will stream "Stream _ A" with a two-hour delay. This means that the delayed stream will always stream with a two-hour delay.

    Parameters

    The general stream settings.

    Source

    Select one of the input streams that were configured to enable "time shift".

    Delay

    Specify the delay period relative to the original stream in the following format: hh:mm:ss.

    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

    ZEC 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)

    If desired, specify multicast only outputs.
