If you have an ASI card that is compatible with Zixi[1], the ASI card will convert the ASI-MPTS stream to an IP/MPTS stream and transmit it to the Zixi Broadcaster. By adding an ASI input stream, you can configure Zixi Broadcaster to listen to the specified ASI card from which the stream will be transmitted.
The duration of the delayed stream should be less or equal to the time shifted stream.
To Add an ASI Stream:
In the Zixi Broadcaster Navigation menu, click the Inputs tab.
In the Menu bar, click New Input. The Add a new input stream window is displayed.
Enter the unique Stream ID. Note: this must be identical (case sensitive) to the stream name configured in ZEC.
Select the maximum concurrent connections to this stream from the Max. Outputs drop-down list. Default: Unlimited.
Select the Show in Matrix check box to display this stream in the Matrix (see Using the Matrix). Default: Selected.
Select ASI for the input stream.
