This enables the Broadcaster to send a UDP stream. The UDP stream is not protected by the Zixi protocol. The UDP streams can be one of the following types:

...

  1. In the Zixi Broadcaster Outputs page, click . The New output window is displayed.
    Image RemovedImage Added
  2. Type in the unique identifier for this output in the Output Name.
  3. Select an Input Stream to be made available on this output from the drop-down list.
  4. Select the Show in Matrix check box to display this stream in the Matrix (see Using the Matrix). Default: Selected.
  5. Select UDP.
  6. Specify the Output parameters (see Output Stream Parameters Table).
  7. In the Host field, specify the IP address or URL of the stream destination.
  8. In the Port field, specify the port of the destination.
  9. If you want to remux the stream to CBR (used for professional IRDs) in order to avoid bandwidth waste, select Remuxing and configure the respective parameters (see Output Stream Parameters Table).
  10. Click OK.

ParameterDescription
Output Parameters

Host

Specify the destination IP address or URL.

Port

Specify the target UDP port.

TTL

Specify the time-to-live (TTL). Used mainly to limit the range (or “scope”) of a multicast transmission. Leaving it as blank uses the default value specified by the operating system.

Smoothing [mms]

Enables transmission of the output at the correct rate. Required when the receiving device is sensitive and can’t lock on to the stream (in such a case, the recommended latency is 100 - 1000 ms).

RTP

Enables use of the Real-time Transport Protocol.

SMPTE 2022 FEC:

Disables the FEC or specifies the type of FEC matrix to D1/ D2.

Bind to IP

Select from the drop-down list the local IP address to be used for this Output, OR select Any to enable any IP to be used.

Info

This setting can be modified without interrupting an existing stream.

In the SMPTE-2022 FEC standard, 1-D and 2-D parity codes are systematic FEC codes of decent complexity that provide protection against bursty or random losses. To enable SMPTE-2022 FEC (Forward Error Correction) select one of the following parity options from the drop-down menu:

  • 1D (single dimension FEC) - SMPTE-2022 1D can fix a problem in ONE packet per row. This means that the number of rows specified should consider the packet loss rate- the shorter the row, the more error resilience can be achieved on the expense of bitrate level. However, longer rows increase the delay that the FEC will add. It is recommended to select this option when the packet loss is sporadic.
    The stream will occupy the source port and two ports above it (e.g. if the source port is 8988, it will occupy 8990)
  • 2D - SMPTE-2022 2D uses a table of packets, which includes rows and columns. This option is more error resilient, but it increases the delay by (row*column) packets and increases the bitrate with R+C packets per each table of R*C packets. It is recommended to select this option when packet loss is bursty.
    The stream it will occupy four ports above (e.g. if the source port is 8988, it will occupy 8992).

Bind to IP

Select from the drop-down list the

local IP address to be used for this Output, OR select Any to enable any

IP to be used.

Local Port

Specify from which local port to source the stream, if desired (instead of randomly chosen by the operating system).

RIST

Select this checkbox to send RIST streams from any compliant RIST device.

Max Latency [ms]

Specify the maximum latency of the stream in milliseconds.

Remote Port

Specify the remote port in the RIST device. Default: 0 (any port)

1.4 support

Compression

Fast Connect

Don’t Fragment

Select this option if you do not want to fragment IP packets in a stream.

ReMuxingSelect this checkbox to enable remuxing from VBR MPEG-TS to MPEG-TS  CBR (used for professional IRDs).
Remux to bitrate [kbps]:Specify the CBR bitrate to target for a remuxed stream.
Buffer Size [ms]Specify the size of the buffer that will be used for the remixing. A larger buffer increases the quality, but also increases latency.
No NULL PacketsSelect this option to re-multiplex the stream to CBR but remove the NULL packets in order to maintain low bitrate.
Enable DecryptionSelect this checkbox to decrypt an encrypted stream.

Decryption type

If the stream has been encrypted, you can decrypt through the output by selecting this checkbox and specifying the type of ecryption 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).

Important Notice: if the stream has been encrypted you must decrypt it in the output.

Decryption keyIf the decryption type includes a key, enter the key to decrypt the stream during output.
Enable IFB/TalkbackSelect this checkbox to enable IFB/Talkback for one-way communication from the director or assistant director to on-air talent or a remote location. Selecting the checkbox allows the decoder with a Zixi Receiver to send audio back to the encoder with a Zixi Feeder. This offers the ability to, for example, give audio feedback to the camera operator.
PortThe port that will be used to send the audio feedback.
