You can add input streams to ZiXi Broadcaster from one of the following sources:
- ZiXi Feeder – the ZiXi feeder pushes the stream to the ZiXi Broadcaster. Since both the ZiXi Feeder and the ZiXi Broadcaster use the ZiXi protocol, the stream is protected by the ZiXi protocol.
- Another ZiXi Broadcaster – the ZiXi Broadcaster can pull a stream from another ZiXi Broadcaster. Since both components use the ZiXi protocol, the stream can be protected by the ZiXi protocol.
- UDP streams - the source is a UDP or RTP stream, over unicast or multicast.
- Delayed -
- Local files (for VOD) – the source in this case is a local transport stream file from your local computer or local network.
- RTMP streams - The source is an RTMP stream, pushed into the broadcaster, or pulled by it.
- RTSP - The source is an RTSP stream, pushed into the broadcaster, or pulled by it.
