To Create a UDP Output:
- In the ZiXi Broadcaster Outputs page, click
. The New output window is displayed.
- Type in the unique identifier for this output in the Output Name.
- Select an Input Stream to be made available on this output from the drop-down list.
- Select the Show in Matrix check box to display this stream in the Matrix (see Using the Matrix). Default: Selected.
- Select UDP.
- Specify the Output parameters (see Output Stream Parameters Table).
- In the Host field, specify the IP address of the stream destination.
- In the Port field, specify the port of the destination.
- 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).
- Click OK.
The new UDP Output with its settings is created and now appears on the Outputs screen.
Output Stream Parameters Table
| Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
Stream ID | Specifies the unique identifier for this output stream. |
Input Stream | Specifies the input stream that is associated with this output. |
Show in Matrix | Enables stream to be shown in Matrix. |
| Output Parameters | |
Host | Specifies the destination address of this output. |
Port | Specifies the port to listen on. |
TTL | Specifies 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 the Real-time Transport Protocol |
SMPTE 2022 FEC: | Disables the FEC or specifies the type of FEC matrix to D1/ D2 |
Local Interface | Specifies the local IP address to use, or any one which can be sourced from any active NIC. |
Local Port | Specify the local port from which to source the stream, if desired (instead of randomly chosen by the operating system). |
Don’t Fragment | Select this option if you do not want to fragment IP packets in a stream. |
Decryption type | Specifies the type of Encryption. |
Remuxing | Enables remuxing to CBR (used for professional IRDs). |
Remux to bitrate [kbps]: | Specifies the CBR bitrate to target for a remuxed stream. |
