Adding Push Streams

Typically a Push Stream is transmitted from a ZiXi Feeder. In this case, the stream is initiated by the ZiXi Feeder, while the ZiXi Broadcaster remains in “listening mode” until the stream is initiated.

To Add a Push Stream:

1. In the ZiXi Broadcaster administrative screen, click the Inputs tab.
2. Click New Input. The Add a new input stream window is displayed.
3. Select Push for this input stream.
4. Specify the Stream Parameters (see table below for additional parameters).
5. If you want to Enable time shift, select this checkbox (see table below for additional parameters). The stream will be recorded and broadcasted after the specified delay. The time shift feature is typically used to broadcast a live event across time zones (due to the time differences between locations).   
6. If you want to Transmit as multicast, select this checkbox (see table below for additional parameters).
7. If you want to record the stream, you can configure the Recording Parameters (see table below for additional parameters).
8. Click OK.
9. The “Input added” message appears on the top of the screen. The Push Stream from the ZiXi Feeder is added to the ZiXi Broadcaster and now appears in the list of input streams available in the  ZiXi Broadcaster input UI.
