Billing CodesBilling codes are used to identify and differentiate traffic on a Zixi Broadcaster for billing purposes. When a billing code is added to a Source or Target, Zixi can track the traffic on that Broadcaster input or output separately from other inputs and outputs on the same Broadcaster. Billing codes are created by Zixi personnel on the Zixi Customer Portal for a particular organization.
Billing Code

Enter the billing code that corresponds to this stream. The relevant billing can be obtained from the organization that received the billing code from Zixi.
