This enables pulling a Zixi transport stream from a Zixi Broadcaster. The output stream will be configured automatically in the Zixi Broadcaster. The stream can be already defined in the Broadcaster or it can be added later.
Stream names are case sensitive and must be identical.
To Add Pull Streams:
- In the ZiXi Receiver Navigation menu, click the Inputs tab.
- In the Menu bar, click New Input. The Stream details screen is displayed.
Enter the unique Input Name (an internal name) for the Receiver.
This must be identical (case sensitive) to the stream name configured in the Zixi Broadcaster.
- Select Pull as the Input stream.
- Enter the StreamParameters (see Receiver Input Stream Table).
- Click OK.
The “Input added” message appears on the top of the screen. The Pull Stream is added to the Zixi Receiver and is now displayed in the list of Input streams available.
