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. Click the Inputs tab at the top of the ZiXi Broadcaster administrative screen.
2. Click New Input on the upper right hand side of the screen. The Add a new input stream window is displayed.
   

3. Enter the unique Stream I.D. for the Broadcaster.

   Note this must be identical (case sensitive) to the stream name configured in the ZiXi Feeder.

4. Select  the maximum concurrent connections to this stream from the Max. Outputs  drop-down list. Default: Unlimited.
5. Select the Show in Matrix check box to display this stream in the Matrix (see Using the Matrix on page 45). Default: Selected.
6. Select Push for this input stream.
7. Specify the Stream Parameters (see additional parameters).
8. 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).   
9. If you want to Transmit as multicast, select this checkbox (see table below for additional parameters).
10. If you want to record the stream, you can configure the Recording Parameters (see table below for additional parameters).
11. Click OK.
12. 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.
