ZEC Adding SRT Client Outputs

The SRT output can be pulled to/from an SRT-enabled device and is configured via Zen Master or Zixi API only. SRT stands for ‘Secure Reliable Transport’ and is an open-source video transport protocol and technology stack. SRT uses secure streams and easy firewall traversal to optimize streaming performance and deliver high-quality video over even the most unreliable networks.

To Create an SRT Client Output:

  1. In the ZEC Outputs page, click . The New Output window is displayed.

  5. Select SRT Client.

  6. Enter the Output Parameters (see Output Stream Parameters Table).

  7. You can decrypt an encrypted stream as it enters the ZEC. To decrypt a stream, select the
