Ignore TLS certificate errors

When the Zixi Broadcaster acts as a client (e.g. streaming to another Zixi Broadcaster), there is an option to Ignore TLS certificate errors for the HTTP Push output. This means that even when the Zixi Broadcaster that receives the stream doesn’t have a valid certificate, the stream will be transmitted to it using DTLS.

Decryption type

Select this option when streaming to a trusted server that does not have a valid certificate. When this option is selected, Zixi Broadcaster will ignore the TLS certificate errors and transmit the stream to its destination.

Decryption type

If the stream has been encrypted, you can decrypt through the output by selecting this checkbox and specifying the type of encryption that was used.

Select Automatic to decrypt a stream that has been encrypted using Automatic encryption.

Only if the stream has not been encrypted, select None (default).
