- Select the Show in Matrix check box to display this stream in the Matrix (see Using the Matrixchapter). Default: Selected.
- Select File for the input stream.
- Specify the Stream Parameters (see Input Stream Parameter tableTable).
- If you want to Enable time shift, select this checkbox (see Input Stream Parameter tableTable). The stream will be recorded and broadcasted after the specified delay. The time shift feature is typically used to broadcast a live event across time zones (due to the time differences between locations).
- If you want to Transmit as multicast, select this checkbox (see Input Stream Parameter tableTable).
- If you want to Enable encryption, select this checkbox (see Input Stream Parameter tableTable).
- Click OK. The “Input added” message appears on the top of the screen. The Push Stream from the ZiXi Zixi Feeder is added to the ZiXi Zixi Broadcaster and now appears in the list of streams available in the ZiXi Zixi Broadcaster inputs UI.
