Adding Delayed Streams

You can delay the broadcasting of an input stream by enabling “time shifting”. In this case the input stream will be stored on the local disk, while a variant of the input is created and delayed according to the specified duration. 

To Add a Delayed Stream:

1. In the ZiXi Broadcaster Navigation menu, click the Inputs tab.
2. In the Menu bar, click New Input. The Add a new input stream window is displayed.
   
   
   

3. Enter the unique Stream I.D.

   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 Delayed for the input stream.
7. Specify the Stream Parameters (see Input Streams Parameters Table).

To Add a Delayed Stream:

1. In the ZiXi Broadcaster Navigation menu, click the Inputs tab.
2. In the Menu bar, click New Input. The Add a new input stream window is displayed.
3. Select Source.
4. Set the Delay (up to the time shift delay that was set).
5. Click OK.
