Adding HTTP Push Outputs

The HTTP Push output stream can be encapsulated in HLS or DASH. The source of the output stream is a predefined adaptive group that has been configured in the Adaptive Groups screen. The configuration of the stream includes the option to delete outdated stream fragments on the server. SCTE-35 markers in the source input will be preserved and used to segment the stream for both HLD and DASH encapsulation. Output streams can be pushed to one Zixi Broadcasters or Zixi Receiver.

To create an HTTP Push Output:

In the Zixi Broadcaster Outputs page, click . The New Output window is displayed.
Select the HTTP Push option (radio button)
Type in the unique identifier for this output stream in the Output Name.
Select an Input Adaptive Group to be made available on this output from the adjacent drop-down list. To create an Adaptive Group, see Adaptive Groups.
Select the Show in Matrix check box to display this stream in the Matrix (see Using the Matrix). Default: not selected.
Enter the Output Parameters (see Output Stream Parameters Table).
Click OK.
