You can add input streams to Zixi Broadcaster from one of the following sources:

• ZEC Zixi (Push) – ZEC or Zixi Broadcaster pushes the stream to the Zixi Broadcaster. Since both ZEC and the Zixi Broadcaster use the Zixi protocol, the stream is protected by the Zixi protocol.
• Another Zixi Broadcaster (Pull) – the Zixi Broadcaster can pull a stream from another Zixi Broadcaster. Since both components use the Zixi protocol, the stream can be protected by the Zixi protocol.   
• UDP streams -  – the source is a UDP or RTP stream, RTP + SMPTE 2022 FEC, and RIST, all over unicast or multicast. 
• Delayed - input stream will be stored on the local disk, while a variant of the input is created and delayed according to the specified duration.
• Local files (for VOD) – the source in this case is a local transport stream file from your local computer or local network.
• RTMP streams -  – The source is an RTMP stream, pushed into the Zixi Broadcaster or pulled by it.  
• RTSP - The  – The source is an RTSP stream, pushed into the Zixi Broadcaster, or pulled by it.
• HLS -–  The source is an HLS stream that is pulled by the Zixi Broadcaster.
• HTTP Pull/Push (TS over HTTP) - The source is a Transport Stream over HTTP, which is pushed into Zixi Broadcaster or pulled by it.
• SRT Caller/Push– The source is an SRT client that pushes the stream into Zixi Broadcaster. The connection is initiated by the source SRT client.
• SRT Client Listener/Pull - The source includes an SRT stream that is pulled by Zixi Broadcaster. The connection is initiated by Zixi Broadcaster.
• RIST – The source is a RIST stream using Simple or Main Profile over unicast or multicast.
• NDI – The source is an NDI stream that is pulled into Zixi Broadcaster using the auto-discovery mechanism.
• WebRTC – The source is a webcam and microphone from a web browser. Contact Zixi support for more information on configuration.
• File over HTTP – The source is a file on an HTTP server (e.g. S3) that is copied to a temporary location on the local computer.
• Multiplex – Takes multiple Single Program Transport Streams and combines them into one Multi Program Transport Stream file.
• Local files – the source in this case is a local transport stream file from your local computer or local network.
• Delayed – the source in this case is a local transport stream file from your local computer or local network and delayed according to the specified duration.
