- Enter the unique Input Name (an internal name) for the Feeder.
- Select UDP for the Input Source.
- Select the relevant NIC (network card) to listen to for the stream.
- If you want to receive the stream as Multicast, select this checkbox (see table below for additional parameters).
- Select the desired protocol Type to be used to transmit the encoded stream (see table below for details).
- Click OK.
The “Input added” message appears on the top of the screen.
