| Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
| Stream Parameters | |
| Host | Enter the IP Address of the remote Broadcaster server. Note that additional (failover) destinations can be added by clicking the adjacent “+” button |
| Port | Enter the port through which the Broadcaster receives the stream from another Broadcaster server. Default: 2088 The default input port for ZiXi Zixi Broadcaster is UDP port 2088. This port must be open on any firewalls between ZiXi Zixi Broadcaster and other devices it is communicating with. |
| Stream | Enter the unique stream ID from another Broadcaster server. |
| Password (Optional) | If desired, enter the string for authentication. It must be identical to the string configured on the other ZiXi Zixi Broadcaster. |
| Latency [ms] | Specify the maximum number of milliseconds that Zixi Broadcaster should protect the stream for. For example, 6000 milliseconds would ensure that the stream is protected for up to six seconds of delay in the network. This setting affects memory usage as higher levels of protection require more buffering. Default:6000. |
| Bind to IP | Selects a local IP address to use, or Any IP address if it can be sourced from any active NIC. |
| Enable time shift | Select this checkbox to record the stream content and broadcast it after the specified delay. |
Maximum delay [hh:mm:ss] (for Time Shift enabled) | Specify the time of a delayed transmission of this stream. Maximum: 24 hours |
Transmit as multicast | Enables Select this checkbox to enables the transmission of this stream’s outputs as multicast. A Zixi Broadcaster that will pull the stream will receive it in multicast. By default Zixi Broadcaster is configured to allow transparent fallback to unicast if it is out of the LAN. Requires enabling Multicast Pull in the Settings. |
Multicast-Only (for multicast enabled) | If desired, specify multicast-only outputs. |
Decrypt stream | Select this checkbox to decrypt the Input stream. Please note that the stream will not be encrypted as it passes through the Zixi path. For more information, see Decrypting an Input Stream in Zixi Broadcaster. |
Decryption type (for Decrypt stream enabled) | Specify the type of encryption that is being used in the stream. |
Decryption key (for Decrypt stream enabled) | Specify the key for decryption. |
Enable Encryption | Select this checkbox to encrypt the Input stream. For more information, see Encrypting an Input Stream in Zixi Broadcaster. |
Encryption type (for Encryption enabled) | Specify the type of Encryption (AES 128/192/256). |
Encryption key (for Encryption enabled) | Click Generate to generate an encryption key. The generated encryption key must be sent to the end-user to decipher the received encoded stream. |
Decrypt stream | Decrypts the Input stream. Please note that the stream will not be encrypted as it passes through the Zixi path. For more information, see Decrypting an Input Stream in Zixi Broadcaster. |
Decryption type (for Decrypt stream enabled) | Specify the type of encryption that is being used in the stream. |
Decryption key (for Decrypt stream enabled) | Specify the key for decryption. |
Enable Encryption | Encrypts the Input stream. For more information, see Encrypting an Input Stream in Zixi Broadcaster. |
Encryption type (for Encryption enabled) | Specify the type of Encryption (AES 128/192/256). |
Encryption key (for Encryption enabled) | Click Generate to generate an encryption key. The generated encryption key must be sent to the end-user to decipher the received encoded stream. |
| Recording parameters | Select this checkbox to customize the recording parameters. |
| Max recorded file duration [hours] | Specify the maximum time allotted for recording a video stream. Default: 2 hours |
| Keep recorded files for [hours] | Specify the maximum time for storing the recording. |
Custom Path | Optionally specify a storage location for the recorded files that is relative to the root folder. This location bypasses the location specified as the root folder in the Settings > General screen. |
File Name Template | Specify the file name pattern that Zixi will use to generate when saving the recorded content. A separate file will be generated for each recording up to the time specified in the Max recorded file duration parameter (see above). After this duration a new file will be generated. The file name pattern can include any string and up to five variables listed below. Only the %T=HH.MM.SS creation time is mandatory. You can change the order of these variables and add text as long as you maintain the legitimate structure of the file in Linux and Windows:
For example, the following pattern %Y_recording%T.ts will generate the following file name 2017_recording15:32:35.ts. |
| Decrypt stream | Decrypts the Input stream. For more information, see Decrypting an Input Stream in Zixi Broadcaster. Please note that the stream will not be encrypted as it passes through the Zixi path. |
| Decryption type | Specify the type of encryption that is being used in the stream. |
| Decryption key | Specify the key for decryption . |
